We all know that each of us are unique individual, each of us possess different attitude. focuses on the various stages of life and the importance of making progress by moving on from what one previously knew. In a sense, the poem is an elaboration on this idea, because it focuses on the concept of sealing off one's previous boundaries to create new and larger spaces in which to live and develop. In the paragraphs before the poem, the autocrat of the breakfast table says that “grow we must, if we outgrow all that we love,” stressing the need to keep moving and developing as one ages, even if it means that one leaves one's old relationships behind. Holmes envisions a process of spiritual and personal progress in which one constantly challenges oneself to become a better person.The theme is expansion, growth and the hope that life will improve and become refined over time.
SILAS MARNER
Although there are tragedies in Silas Marner (the death of Molly Cass, for example), the narrative emphasizes the moral order of the universe. The principal characters get their just desserts. Silas Marner is rewarded for the love he shows Eppie; Dunsey never lives to profit from his robbery; and Godfrey Cass, because of his deceitfulness and moral cowardice, can never publicly acknowledge that Eppie is his daughter. This moral order is at work through seemingly chance events.
I WANDER LONELY AS A CLOUD
The theme is that an experience of seeing flowers was weaker than the actual remembering of the flowers. People might have a sense of experience as the opposite, that in remembering is not as powerful as the original experience.It proves how powerful memory can be. This poem is a gentle melodic rhythm that parallels flowers swaying back and forth in the "breeze." The poem begins with "solitary life" in the first line, and ends with "company or a "group life" in the end. He moves from a single entity to a member of the natural world. The flowers "flash," and "glisten." "Golden" and "wealth" are something economic, making a deposit in the bank of one's mind reaping the reward after the initial experience is over. They are money in the mind's bank. The daffodils are personified as performing an aesthetic action .The flowers are rooted firmly in the ground. There are allusions to the four elements in the poem: fire, earth, air, and water it is a natural completeness in remembering an action performed by nature.
PARADISE LOST
Fate and free will are major topics in Paradise Lost. God reveals that he knows what will happen to Adam and Eve, but resolutely denies that there is any such thing as fate. God knows what will happen (that Adam and Eve will disobey him) just like we know the sun will rise tomorrow. So it might seem sometimes like Adam and Eve never had a chance, but that's just not true. After all, it's not God's fault that he can see everything that will happen as if it has already happened! Also is about Adam and Eve's fall, the original sin! So it's no surprise that sin is a prominent theme in the poem. Don't forget that we also learn a lot about Satan's major sin (he tried to overthrow God) and a lot about the sins that Adam's descendants will commit.
