Reflection: "Invictus"

This poem is yet another example of English stoicism. The poet seems to be injured and dying but he is not sad or scared. He keeps going unafraid of his inevitable death. He does not express the pain and suffering he has endured. Through all of the challenges he has faced he has overcome them. He is in charge of his own fate. It is a dark poem yet at the same time shows the strengths of man.
