This question is about the poem "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus"
Answer:
To provide an alternative viewpoint
To persuade the reader that Icarus was careless
Explanation:
In the poem, the poet decides to reflect on the fall of Icaro in an alternative way, he says that Icaro had his legs melted by his carelessness and indifference to his father's orders and the fragility of his wings. The author shows this indifference even in the people who saw Icaro fallen, with his wings melted and bruised, but neither helped nor cared. In this way, the poet seeks to address the indifferent nature of humanity in matters that do not affect or benefit him.
