Justify how ‘Animals’ by Walt Whitman is a criticism of mankind and its ways?
Answer
In the poem, Walt Whitman says that he is more comfortable with animals than those of his kind because he believes that they are
better than human beings.
Animals are calm and content with themselves. They don't suffer from guilt over their actions or
cry over their sins
.
Humans on the other hand are filled with
greed and materialistic desires.
They aren't content with themselves and make each other sick by discussing their duties to god. It seems as though
humans have shed their values
of love and understanding for each other.
Human society is blemished by
ego, hatred and hypocrisy.
