Early, tragic death and suicide appear throughout Tennysons poetry.
Perhaps the most significant event of his life was the untimely death of his
best friend Arthur Hallam at age twenty-two, which prompted Tennyson to
write his greatest literary work, In Memoriam. The formal consistency
expresses Tennysons grief and links the disparate stanzas together into
an elegiac whole. The speaker of Break, Break, Break (1834) sees death
even in sunsets, while the early Mariana (1830) features a woman who
longs for death after her lover abandons her. Each of that poems seven
stanzas ends with the line I would that I were dead. The lady in The
Lady of Shalott brings about her own death by going out into an autumn
storm dressed only in a thin white dress. Similarly, the cavalrymen in The
Charge of the Light Brigade ride to their deaths by charging headlong into
the Russian cannons. These poems lyrically mourn those who died
tragically, often finding nobility in their characters or their death.
