It is revealing that after tending to him and comforting him that she begins to see the bigger picture. Later in ‘The Manhunt’ the narrator references a bullet in the chest, but throughout this poem where the metaphor ends and reality begins is often ambiguous. It is unclear whether the grazed heart is literal or metaphorical, or maybe even both. Could the allusion be that her partner has become mechanical? Perhaps he has an almost robotic mannerism? These items, once again, could be imagined to be part of a plane, so are perhaps another hint as to her man’s vocation. The comparisons with her man are all manufactured items, rather than organic living things. This couplet is heavy on the double meanings.

Only in this instance, perhaps she also hints at her partner’s occupation? Mentioning parachutes as a metaphor for his lungs could well be a telling hint as to her partner’s profession, by the end of the poem it is easy to assume that her partner is a military man but could this be a hint as to his specific role within the military? Could he be a pilot? Once again the narrator describes her man using adjectives that have beauty, yet a delicacy. Although does the word “mind” have a double meaning? It is unlikely, although it would not be beyond the poetic abilities of Armitage to be that clever in his choice of words. Throughout ‘The Manhunt’ the narrator uses kind, sympathetic verbs such as mind, tend etc. Once again though I would question whether she is talking about an actual injury to the collar of her partner or if it is a metaphor for his wider self? However, it is a very fragile, easily-broken material. Firstly, we tend to associate porcelain with things that are beautiful, maybe even precious. Perhaps her partner’s jaw hinge doesn’t operate often, preferring instead to keep his emotions inside?ĭescribing her partner’s collar bone as porcelain has a two-fold meaning. Is this a physical description? Has her partner had their jaw physically blown? Or is this a metaphor for a partner that has become increasingly tight-lipped and monosyllabic? Not all men are comfortable talking about their feelings. This couplet contains a harrowing image of her partner’s lower jaw. Perhaps the suggestion is that the stress and worry of her partner’s position in the military has caused deep worry lines like a ravine on his face? The frozen river referenced here gives the image of a glacier. This, I think, describes her partner “letting her in”. It champions the time period using positive adjectives such as passionate and intimate. This couplet clearly talks about the early relationship between the narrator and their partner. The narrator comes across as gentle and supportive.Īfter passionate nights and intimate days, There is a vague rhyming pattern to the couplets but this is inconsistent which I think gives the poem a fragmented feel, perhaps this is to represent how their relationship has been? ‘The Manhunt’ contains a lot of the striking imagery that is a hallmark of Armitage’s. ‘The Manhunt’ is unsurprisingly poignant. Although not stated one would assume that the man the narrator is talking about is in, or was in, the armed services, possibly the RAF.

The subject matter of ‘ The Manhunt’, which can be read in full here, is a person (who I will assume is a woman, though this is not stated) talking about their partner’s injuries, both physical and mental.
