Write 4 pages thesis on the topic ten types of hospital visitor. There is no denying the fact that in the ballad, Charles Causley has been able to bring home the point that nothing could alleviate human suffering and pain, are they hollow expressions of concern, matter of fact expressions of goodwill, theological messages of salvation and mercy, uttering of familial concern and allegiance, or gestures of friendship ushering out from a sense of fellowship and camaraderie, except for the understanding concern of a fellow human whose is perhaps going through much worse circumstances and angst, thereby enabling a person to rise above one’s pain through personal example. Doing so, Causley has been able to bring out the crux of true human sympathy, sense of concern and empathy, by illustrating the contrary gestures and expressions in an elaborate and discernible manner. The hallmark of Causley’s craftsmanship in conveying a message that is of universal importance and significance is the style he has selected to wrap and convey it, which is the traditional ballad form. No wonder the words and style chosen by the poet are so typical of his body of work, deft at conveying pithy messages in a simple and matter of fact manner. In the given ballad, Causley’s chosen subject is human suffering and human response towards suffering, a topic that has been the prime concern of writers, poets and philosophers since times immemorial. Hence, the ballad form used by Causley is of apt significance in the sense that it not only wrests the interest of the reader by its song like appeal but, also manages to somewhat surprise the reader by its attempt to convey such a grave truth, in folklore like format and style. The imagery resorted to being the poet is certainly capable of giving a textual form to the intended topic that is human pain and suffering. The poet creates the scenario of a serious patient lying in a hospital ward and the intentions and approaches of the varied visitors that come to see him. The choice is really suitable as the hospitals are not only associated with pain and suffering, but also tend to have another side that is imbued with love, empathy and concern amply symbolized by the “eighth visitor (Causley 237)”, who motivates the patient by the dint of one’s personal example and one’s ability to empathize with the patient by relating to it through personal suffering. One other particular thing about Causley’s design in Ten Types of Hospital Visitor is that he successfully tries to convey the topic enshrined in the poem, which is human response towards suffering through the usage of juxtaposition and contrast, thereby managing to create a gallery projecting all forms of human response towards suffering. Causley’s does so by simply elaborating on the varied people visiting the patient, using words that even a lay reader could understand. The range of Causley’s subjects is expansive and leaves no exception.&nbsp.
