In the Round Tower in Jhansi

A Victorian audience would have known about the incident.
It is a mixture of third person narrative voice and dialogue
Ambiguous Dialogue throughout add depth and layers to the poem

Narrative - A husband and wife are in a tower that is about to be overrun by 'howling wretches' and so they decide to take their own lives.

Husband - Selfless, strong, caring, courageous
Wife - Nervous, weak

Tone, attitudes, feelings...
On the characters' side
Feel sympathy and pity for them
