Answer 1

The author explains the light brigade riding into the “jaws of Death" in line 24. This isn't true, it's just a use of figurative language, used as a metaphor to compare death to a ferocious beast ready to feast on the six hundred members of the light brigade. The “jaws of Death” in the story is used to symbolize the battleground and how war can be very devastating. The author describes the battleground as the inevitable death itself. This helps describe how brave the six hundred men were, when they rode to their deaths. Therefore, this symbolizes the danger of war and how the six hundred men were describe as heroes who fought to the very end, even if it meant their deaths would be inevitable.
