Question:

What is the attitude of Ted Hughes towards the Crow in the poem "Examination at the Womb-Door"?

I mean Crow was created to replace human, right? Because Crow was better than men in some ways. Crow was less proud? But, the last line of the poem,"Me, evidently" showed that Crow was actually proud of himself. So did it mean that Ted Hughes finally decided that Crow was not suitable to replace human or what???

And why did Crow always answer "Death"? It shows Crow understood death or what???

Please help me with it. I am rather confused and there aren't much resources on the Internet.

The black crow goes up against the white dove plus seagulls because seagulls are more cool than eagles or white doves cause doves and eagles can't fly over the sea for too long before they chicken out and head out back to land. Duh. But a crow?
s_it!!!! I am still trying to figure out what in the dickens a crow is good for. The only thing a crow is good for is nothing because at the door of the womb? I came out of my mother and not from some crow infested nest. I haven't read this Ted Hughes poem because if there is anything of magnitude that I cannot handle is some off the wall poem about one or more crows, "awk awk" and, in summation, please, keep the door of any womb there where we humans exited from our dear sweet wonderful priceless mothers. rm pinkfeet.
