Answer:
The personification and imagery allows the poet to clearly describe the scene and (possibly) his thoughts on the war. It also can emphasise the poet’s irony. For example ‘swings corpses through the air’, no one would throw corpses through the air. But this clearly images the idea and ‘concept’ of what war does. Another piece of irony is ‘yet no one gives it a word of praise’ referring to no one praising war, it’s ironic because if this was a person, he/she would be treated differently. But since this is war, the concept of it is different, therefor different response
Explanation:
By using personification, this shows the contrast between living and dead/ solid etc.
