The poem ‘The School Boy’ discuss , a boy’s repelling imprisonment at his school.
His company from the animate objects of the summer morning (birds, flowers, etc.) to the inanimate object of his school is indeed a matter of concern and grief. School life is an ordeal for him.
The boy’s enjoyment of summer festivity is countered by the terrifying eye of the teacher that robs from him all his childhood happiness. School is nothing but a prison that negates the playful activity of childhood. The restriction of an imposed discipline in school forms a hurdle for the natural expression of creativity and kills the very the essence of genius.
