Four Levels of On the Eve of his Execution
                                              -  Chidiock Tichborne
1.LITERAL COMPREHENSION:
This poem was a letter written by Chidiok Tichborne to his wife Agnes at the night before he was executed. This elegy shows the inner feelings of a man who is going to get capital punishment.

The speaker is very unhappy because his prime of youth is full of pain and sufferings. His corn field is covered with unwanted weeds. His hope for betterment has gone on vain. There is no light for him even during the day. Even if he is alive he feels as if his life has already ended.
He shared his problems with others but no one listened to him. He is young and could live many more years but due to his execution, everything is destroyed. His happiness and aspires are all shattered. He is ignored and not cared. People have heard his story but no one speaks on his behalf. He is left alone. He feels that his life is over.

Now he has realized that death followed him from his mother's womb. It is inevitable. It was his foolishness to have desire to live longer because he has understood now that life is merely a shade: transitory. The earth is our tomb where everyone is destined to be buried. Yet, he wanted to live to fulfill his several wishes but his life is getting a full stop since he is going to be executed.

2.INTERPRETATION :
This poem is trying to express the inner feelings of a man who is going be executed next day.The poet is living his remaining life strongly but unhappily .it also trying to say that already known death is very painful for a person.Also we only understand the value of something when we are going to lose it.

3.CRITICAL THINKING : The poem beautifully shows the inner feelings of a man who is going to be executed next day.However some question raise in my mind .
1) Why didn't he realize his mistake ?
2) How could a person write a poem in such a painful situation ?

4.ASSIMILATION :
After reading this poem I came to know the feelings of a man who has already known about his death.I realize that we should not break the laws of the nation .Otherwise we have to be punished bitterly.
