Recurrent word in a poem draws the attention of readers. Such a word is crucial to the interpretation of the poem`s meaning, especially when focus of the work is laid on the word. The word `eye` in the poetry of Ted Hughes reflects the minds of main characters as a central organ in their bodies whether they are men or animals. Eye of a main character often plays the role of persona or speaker who describes and explains to readers what he sees. His eye may exert an aesthetic control over the structure of the poem for that reason. The farmer speaker of “The Hawk in the Rain” floundering in the mire of a field on a stormy day casts his eye upward at the hawk which he supposes is aloof and free from elemental forces. The eye of the hawk seems to be the mental ideal he strives toward. The spectator speaker of “The Jaguar” in a zoo stares at the eye of an enraged jaguar and becomes mesmerized. The jaguar seems to drill the darkness in his cage by his intense gaze. There`s no human speaker in “Hawk Roosting” where the hawk speaker shows off his omnipotence and omniscience. Readers could get the whole picture of the poem only through the limited eye of the hawk. Readers, however, need to heed on another `eye` beside man`s and animal`s eyes in a poem whether they are the speakers of the poem or not. The hidden `eye` between the lines is the eye of the author.
