DON'T JUST TAKE MY POINTS AWAY...

Read the passage: In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. What is the effect of the physical imagery in this passage? The reader understands that the speaker is defeated by the hardships of life. The reader understands that the speaker is a violent man. The reader understands that the speaker is dying. The reader understands that the speaker has had to face great challenges in life.

That's probably the because of the word 'unbowed', which implies that the speaker hasn't given up yet.
