He smears blood on the page and says‚ “You are killing us”. Hughes studied English in school so he could become a poet or creative writer. However‚ his studies never seemed to be geared in such a manner. The burnt fox dream here is a cry for help. Hughes seems to be splitting his own self by not being able to do what it is he loves.
