charge of the light brigade

• "honour the charge they made/ honour the light brigade/noble six hundred" - repetition
• "into the valley of death" - metaphor/ horrific image highlights the danger of the situation
• "not the six hundred" - sombre tone/ extent of the loss
• "when can their glory fade" - rhetorical question
• "into th jaws of death" - personification/ brutal fate awaiting the men
• "theirs not to make reply/ theirs not to reason why/ theirs but to do and die" - repetition/ lack control over their fate
• "cannon to the right of them / cannon to the left of them" - repetition/ soldiers are helpless
