Poem Analysis: Dovahkiin

From analyzing this poem, I can tell that the dramatic situation is the rebirth of Alduin, and the hope of mankind resting in the arms of the Dragonborn. The structure of the poem is that of a chant almost, or a song. The poem's purpose is a call to arms to the Dragonborn, to stop Alduin's conquest. The speaker writes in rhyming couplets. Many very vivid images are conjured from the poem, such as the horrors that await mankind upon Alduin's conquest. This conveys the importance of the Dragonborn's existence and destiny.
