Which theme is evident in this excerpt from Alfred Lord TennysonÍs narrative poem ñThe Charge of the Light Brigadeî?



ñForward, the Light Brigade!î

Was there a man dismayed?

Not though the soldier knew

Someone had blundered.

Theirs not to make reply,

Theirs not to reason why,

Theirs but to do and die.

Into the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred.

Athe folly of ambition and greed
Bthe inability of humans to face death
Cthe heroism of unquestioning
Dthe futility of obedience
