<h3>Who is Auden?</h3>
Wystan Hugh Auden was an important poet who was born in 1903. His poems were mainly about moral issues and had a great focus on psychology.
<h3>What would be different if he wrote one of his poems today?</h3>
It is clear that the world has changed a lot since the 1900s; due to this, some elements that are expected to be different are:
Social contexts or circumstances: One of the biggest differences is the context described in poems; for example, the situations that are considered moral issues have changed due to technology, pollution, etc.
Minor aspects: This includes elements such as the title, the style, or the vocabulary used that change due to the historical context.
