Justify the title of the poem ‘Brotherhood’ .
Ans: Octavio Paz’s ‘Brotherhood’ exposes the transient nature of human life. The title centers round the relationship that binds everything in the universe organically.
In the opening line of his short poem the poet speaks of himself as one belonging to human brotherhood. In this context he admits the limitation of human beings. The span of human life is very short but the surrounding universe is enormous. Looking up at the night sky, the poet watches the stars that act as our destiny. Intuitively he realizes that his life is likely to be predestined. Then he realizes that he is bound by a cosmic force.
Thus the poet hints on the fact that human life and existence is governed and regulated by cosmic laws. In this sense, the universe and humanity are intertwined. Hence they share brotherhood. ( So the title is apt and appropriate).
