Annabel Lee by Edgar Allab Poe (summary interpretation) Text and Annotations

It was many and many a year ago, In a kingdom by the sea, That a maiden there lived whom you may know By the name of ANNABEL LEE; 5 And this maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me.

Tell me what the simbolism here.

The symbolism is in the expression "In a kingdom by the sea"

Explanation:

Symbolism in literature is used as a figure of speech that uses a word, or an expression to represent a concept in a subjective way. We can give an example of symbolism in the stanza shown above, in the expression "In a kingdom by the sea".

That's because the speaker of the poem says that his beloved lived in an anonymous place, which he calls "kingdom by the sea". In literature, the sea is often used to represent the interior of the characters. In this case, when the speaker says Annabel Lee lives in kingdom by the sea and all she does is love him and be loved by him, it means that they were inside each other, because they lived for each other, without any concern.

what is a theme?

ans: the implicit idea of a written work of literature is called a theme.

so, the only theme of "birdfoot's grampa" by joseph bruchuc is that as a human being one should always remember the value of every life on earth.

the grampa is stopping the car again and again to save those little toads from washing away in the heavy rain is an act of kindness and humanity.
