This article aims to pursue the apocalyptic traits in Ted Hughes`s poems. In his poems before Crow Hughes uses diverse perspectives based on a new paradigm. His perspective on the modern man is that man`s inner world has been ignored by the scientific development due to its invisible character and man`s inner energies deprived of its spontaneous outlet are searching for a new way of crazy explosions. And modern world would fall into the vast emptiness and sterility. With such predictive ideas he invented the allegorical stories of the Crow which is the embodied being of the outcast inner energies. The poet as an omniscient producer reveals his apocalyptic ideas about the modern world observed only through the black eyes of the Crow. We can find some analogy between the Biblical apocalypses and Hughes`s apocalyptic poems. There coexist two different perspectives. One is the omniscient`s perspective transcending the limitation of time and space and the other, the speaker`s perspective imprisoned within the objective observation like a camera. In the Bible the former is God and the latter, the messengers while in Hughes`s Crow the poet has God`s role with omniscient`s perspective and the bird Crow has a messenger`s role of passive observation. The former is hidden behind the scenes as an implied speaker with revealing his prophetic secrets to the audience through the messengers and "I" speaker while the latter in terror observes and wonders the real meanings of the symbolic visions. Just as readers cannot comprehend the apocalyptic visions delivered by the messengers without the knowledge of God`s providence so the readers of Hughes`s Crow cannot understand the hidden meanings of the visional scenes in case they don`s know the poet`s paradigm about the identification of modern man. Hughes is a prophet in that with his unique perspective he announces a message on the end of this world in which the Crow, the embodiment of the deformed inner energies of man indulges himself in his instinctual desire of eating in the emptiness of the last day of the world. He warns us the readers about the terrible apocalyptic future, that is, if we reject the inner energies this world will be condemned to `the dehumanized place of demons`.
