Best Answer

The charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava against Russian artillery was both suicidal and totally unnecessary. As a student of poetry and military history, I think it was Tennyson's way of conveying that the entire world, even those not schooled in military science, could easily recognize its futility and wonder why military men who should have known better could have allowed it to happen.

"All the world wondered" in stanzas 4 and 6 of The Charge of the Light Brigade means that the entire world was astonished by the soldiers' courage and sacrifice.

What is a good summary of the events in the poem of the charge of the light brigade?

The 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' was a disastrous episode in the Crimean War on the 25th October 1854 during the Battle of Balaclava. Confusion, error and poor communication resulted in the Light Brigade being sent on a cavalry charge towards the main Russian artillery position instead of the isolated enemy outpost. ~ Stanza one of The Charge of the Light Brigade means that there is a large military unit that is moving towards their enemy and to their fate. Stanza two of The Charge of the Light Brigade means that someone had made a mistake, but no one knew and no one was frightened to enter battle. The six hundred soldiers did not ask any questions regarding why they were fighting. They simply fought the fight. Stanza three of The Charge of the Light Brigade means that their enemy was firing upon them rapidly and continuously. However, the soldiers persevered and entered "the mouth of hell," where many would perish. Stanza four of The Charge of the Light Brigade means that they continued to fight courageously. "All the world wondered" can be understood to mean that all of the world was mesmerized by the brigade's courage and honor. However, many of the soldiers died and "rode back, but not, Not the six hundred." Stanza five of The Charge of the Light Brigade means that more shots were fired upon them, and they "fought so well." However, it was only those who were left of the initial army. The sixth and last stanza of The Charge of the Light Brigade means that even though many of the brigade soldiers died, their glory will go down in history. Finally, the speaker tells the audience to honor the battle that they had fought and to honor all six hundred of the soldiers.
