Analysis of the poem The Two by Karl Henckell?
Hey, do you have a finished analysis of the poem "The Two" by Karl Henckell? Here's the poem again.
Look at those two! He's playing the flute,
And his wife knits woolen stockings,
In the basket rest two three-piece rolls
For nourishment for the sick body.
Whisper, whisker! – “Who’ll give a penny?”
The flute Beckons so sweetly and pleadingly:
»You're in the lucky galoshes,
"The world is a paradise for you."
Flütüh, flutüh – already limping on
The married beggar couple,
Only one is her companion,
Faithful until death, year after year.
His gaze is hollow, his gait broken,
His face disfigured by ulcers,
He gnaws on a bare bone
And it means – the misery of this world.
Regards and thanks in advance

The poem "Die Zwei" by Karl Henckell describes a pair of beggars playing on the street and asking for alms. The man plays the flute while his wife kneels, and they have little to eat. The poem shows the poverty and suffering of the couple and represents them as a victim of society. The choice of words and the images that draw the poem give the couple a tragic aura and show how their poverty and loneliness drew them. Nevertheless, they remain faithful to each other and continue their tedious path, day by day. The poem can be read as a complaint about the injustices of society and a call for compassion and solidarity with the poor and the needy.
Yes, I want you to describe what is being told and what it means.
I know how an analysis is written.
Come on!
We are supposed to compare several poems at school, which is why I wanted to read out an analysis to understand it better.
