Although i could certainly be suggested that Heaney alludes to the brutality of death the 'concrete finality' of death is often lost on the reader. Within Limbo it is the 'mother' who we see 'tearing her open.' As a reader we are left to sympathise with the murderous mother not the defenceless child. Ultimatly the child 'is left in Limbo' the focus placed not on the brutality of there death but the movement of their soul.
