Question

In "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus", Williams mentions "a splash quite unnoticed.” Which words from Auden’s "Musée des Beaux Arts" best illustrate this idea of people’s distraction and indifference?
A) they were never wrong
B) how well they understood
C) walking dully along
D) passionately waiting

Answer 1

I really enjoy this poem. I believe the best answer would be C, "walking dully along." People who are walking dully along are not acting as if something important or startling just happened. This suggests that they did not notice the fall of Icarus. The other options are not as well suited to distraction or indifference. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

The words from Auden’s "Musée des Beaux Arts" that best illustrates this idea of people’s distraction and indifference is:

" walking dully along" (Option C)

What does the above words illustrate?

The words from option C above indicate that the people are distracted and the proof of that is that they are walking dully.

A dull person way also exhibit indifference by walking too slowly.
