I like the use of the Lion as a symbol of a human virtue (humbleness) missing in this world, yet you would like if he broke from this Virtue to destroy the symbol of Man (the hunter/Hemmingway). Interesting dichotomy, conflict. Do the ends justify the means?
Beyond just stating that the Lion (animals) has the virtue of humbleness, prove it through expressing this virtue of humbleness through his actions. It’s a straw-man to just place a virtue on the Lion, just stating it does not give the Lion much substance of a theme to view and judge this poem on.
I also like the conflict that god impacts the will of Humans (pulling their trigger), but not that of animals (the Lion). God must be a man created idea controingl their actions?
I enjoyed thinking through your Poem, thanks.
