Mr Bleaney - Larkin

From the beginning of this poem we are given the description of a room that the persona is renting that was once Mr Bleaney's. We are given the impression that the room is cheap and ugly due to this description and that Mr Bleaney had a repetitive life around him. As we continue through this poem we see that this ugly setting that Larkin has provided the audience with is a symbolisism of Mr Bleaneys' life. The persona appears to the audience as being an incomoetent character that is much worse than before due to the quote, "My bit of garden properly in hand". The line after this then portrays to us that this is a basic and simple room but is much similar to a prison cell showing isolation and restriction to occur.
The third stanza shows us a dull tone from the persona with the phrase, "I'll take it" and we see that the room is a metaphor of Mr Bleaney's life and asparations. From the word "fags" we get the impression of there is nothing in his life and the audience is left to believe the thought of thinking that that is all that is in Mr Bleaney's life. Within this stanza however there is portrayed a hint of something positive but has not been cherished and continues to go back towards the negative views.
As we continue through we see that he cut himself away from society with removing the radio and gives the reader a sense of being unwelcomed within this home he has. There is a baliad rhythm which represents a simplistic repetitive lifestyle of Larkin that the audience is able to pick up as the poem continues.
With the word "four aways" we are implied of there being pathetic hope even though there is a small amount or a vague amount of hope being given off within this setting. From the word "Frinton" we are informed of it being a place of Essex and that it is a bossy, uptight holiday destination that the persona is talking about. We then get the final line in this stanza saying, "And Christmas at his sister's house in Stoke" appears to the readers that he has no choice in the matter.
From the sixth stanza we get the impression that we are the same as Mr Bleaney with the line, "without shaking off the dread" and that he makes the best of this because for him, that is his home and is of great importance to him. Finally within the last stanza we see that within this whole part that we are unaware of what Mr Bleaney felt or thought and we do not know his inner feelings either. From this there is also an epiphany of which states to us that the reality of this poem shows us that the persona is no better than Mr Bleaney. They are both the same.
