A
Introduction and Context
Scene Summary: 'Kamikaze' is a poem that recounts the experience of a Japanese pilot during World War II who is tasked with a suicide mission. The poem explores themes of honor, family, and the conflict between duty and personal morality. The narrator reflects on the pilot’s hesitation and the subsequent shame faced by the pilot’s family when he chooses to return home alive instead of fulfilling his mission. The poem employs vivid imagery and symbolism, such as the 'shrike' and 'honour' to evoke the complex emotions involved. The context of the poem is rooted in the cultural expectations of loyalty and sacrifice prevalent in wartime Japan, contrasting personal conscience with societal pressure. The phrase 'a shaven face / and then I looked up / at the white boom' subtly hints at the pilot’s internal conflict and the moment of decision.'
