Read the excerpt from "mending wall." and on a day we meet to walk the line and set the wall between us once again. we keep the wall between us as we go. what theme is revealed through the speaker's perspective?

In this excerpt of the "Mending Wall" by Robert Frost, the speaker is revealing the fact he is agreeing with its neighbor to walk through similar - even parallel - paths, but never crossing into the other side, establishing that the wall must remain between them as they go.  

The theme of it is the contradictions in the way human develop relationships in which they need to establish boundaries or "walls" to keep them lonely and apart, as well as on good terms.

hello,

your answer is a) the metaphor suggests that the poetic themes are serious and dark.

collins is comparing the poem to a dark room. he is suggesting that the poems theme is serious and wants you to understand it. you don't need to understand the poet in order to understand the poem. you also don't need to move around while reading it. he is simply saying the poem has a dark and serious theme.

- i.a -

demonstrative would be the answer.
