... Compare and Contrast the ways in which the poets, U.A. Fanthorpe and W.H. Auden effectively explore the theme of prejudice in their poems, "You will be hearing from us shortly" and "Refugee Blues." The poems, "You will be hearing from us shortly" by U.A. Fanthorpe and "Refugee Blues" by W.H. Auden both explore the themes of prejudice and stereotyping. Fanthorpe does this through a job interview in which the candidate being interviewed probably will not be accepted for the job because the interviewer does not think he or she is acceptable. The interviewer thinks this because the candidate lives in a council estate, which shows that this poem is about class discrimination. In contrast, Auden's poem is about two Jewish Germans who have been forced to escape their country because they are being persecuted. However, other countries will not accept them as asylum seekers. This shows that Auden is exploring prejudice
