Hughes' message throughout this poem is therefore one of warning and awareness surrounding theology being used in the wrong way and about the manipulation of Biblical fact and truth. The poem satirises a presentation of the Creation story from Genisis that is clearly isrepresented, as an exaggeration of ignoring the truth and favouring theological theories over the Bible itself, highlighting the dangers of this. The real focus of the theme of religion throughout Hughes' poems here is on God himself, as a Christian person is to give the glory to God in all their works.Īnother spin on the theme of religion which is seen in the poem, 'Theology,' is a satiric presentation of the problems with modern theology and theological practices, tht spend too much time debating secondary issues and adding information to the truth. It calls for a response of the reader to glorify God themselves, whilst 'God's Grandeur,' questions the lack of acknowledgment of God's glory that is already established in the world described. The poem, ' Pied Beauty,' on the other hand is a clear presentation of God's glory and a witness to others. His poem, 'God's Grandeur,' speaks of the place of the world in the light of God's glory and the protection of the Holy Spirit, which, 'broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.' The greatness and glory of God is presented alongside the murky and dreary side of the world, and His grandeur shines through the normality and the routine nature of life for many people, who seem to trudge along without any notice of God. Hughes seems to write from a pro-Christianity point of view, glorifying God through some of his poems and calling to others to do the same.
Religion is a major theme throughout many of Hughes' poems. We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own. These notes were contributed by members of the GradeSaver community.
