The poem The Rabbit reflects the
present day situation of the world.
In these days of urbanization and
industrialization the world is
constantly losing much of its flora
and fauna.
Keeping this at the back of his
mind, Brownjohn writes the poem.
![Page 4: The Rabbit - · PDF filewith no nature except the last ... answers. (a word, a phrase, or a sentence each) ... world as depicted in the poem The Rabbit. 5](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022502/5aaca9c97f8b9a8d678d2c68/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
This is a beautiful poem. It might
look simple; but for a serious
student, the seemingly simple
poem yields a rich harvest of
thought-provoking ideas.
![Page 5: The Rabbit - · PDF filewith no nature except the last ... answers. (a word, a phrase, or a sentence each) ... world as depicted in the poem The Rabbit. 5](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022502/5aaca9c97f8b9a8d678d2c68/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
In the poem Brownjohn presents
an almost completely urbanized
and industrialized England left
with no nature except the last
rabbit and the last „patch of grass‟.
The rabbit and the patch of grass
are exhibited for the public. People
flock to see the „only rabbit in
England‟ nibbling grass on the
„only patch of grass‟.
![Page 6: The Rabbit - · PDF filewith no nature except the last ... answers. (a word, a phrase, or a sentence each) ... world as depicted in the poem The Rabbit. 5](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022502/5aaca9c97f8b9a8d678d2c68/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
England is known for its greenery
and rabbits. The poet visualizes an
extreme situation wherein man has
destroyed all rabbits in England
except one which is being
exhibited with great fanfare.
“The only Rabbit,
The only rabbit in England”.

„Something has gone wrong‟ is
very suggestive.
Something has gone wrong with
the world; something has gone
wrong with the thinking of man;
something has gone wrong with
the wild life.
![Page 25: The Rabbit - · PDF filewith no nature except the last ... answers. (a word, a phrase, or a sentence each) ... world as depicted in the poem The Rabbit. 5](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022502/5aaca9c97f8b9a8d678d2c68/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Here the poet poses two thought-
provoking questions:
“And what shall we do?” – a
pertinent question that needs to be
answered.
The next question, “What can we
do?” hits the nail on the head. It
suggests a realization of one‟s folly.

B) The rabbit‟s apprehension.
„Remarking rather sadly to himself, by himself,
As he rests in his warren, under the earth:
„It won‟t be long, they are bound to come,
They are bound to come and find me, even here.‟
![Page 30: The Rabbit - · PDF filewith no nature except the last ... answers. (a word, a phrase, or a sentence each) ... world as depicted in the poem The Rabbit. 5](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022502/5aaca9c97f8b9a8d678d2c68/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
C) The ironic note at end of the poem.
For humans watching a rabbit
nibbling grass would be a

facing a life and death question; yet
