본문내용
"The Unknown Citizen," by W.H. Auden, is a cynical commentary on the bureaucracy of government and the materialism of modern society. Even indicated by its subtitle, "(To JS/07/M/378 This Marble Monument is Erected by the State)," the poem is written in the form of an obituary inscribed on a monument built by the government in commemoration of an average, upstanding, and decent community member.
Throughout the passage, the speaker, a government bureaucrat, lists facts about the citizen’s life which he believes prove that the deceased was a valuable person.
In reality, however, these facts represent nothing more than the socially accepted values and actions instilled in society by materialistic views. This makes the government appear unconcerned with the true thoughts and feelings of its people, seeing them only as statistics. This is potently illustrated by the reference to the citizen as "JS/07/378."
