"Dover Beach written by Matthew ArnoldThe sea of ​​faith was once also at the edge of the earth, full and round. It stretched like the folds of a coiled belt of light. But now I only hear its melancholy, a long withdrawn roar, Retreating, to the breath of the night wind, on the vast dreary edges and bare shingles of the world. Ah, my love, let us be faithful to each other For the world, which seems to extend before us like a land! of dreams so diverse, so beautiful, so new, in reality have no joy, no love, no light, no certainty, no peace, no relief from pain and us; we are here as on a dark plain, swept with confused alarms of fight and flight where the ignorant armies crash at night (Arnold 1867) After reading the poem "Dover Beach" written by Matthew Arnold, I. think the main theme of this poem is being on the sea at night What I really thought about this element is lying on the sea and enjoying the night. the breeze, hearing the wind blowing and the splashing of water. I was able to walk on the sea on the sand enjoying the beautiful land that the earth has to give us. The other thing this tells me is how difficult it is to find out the truth. I really had to do a little research on “shingles”. I didn't know that shingles also meant "Pebbles on the Beach", when I read the word Shingles I think of Shingles on the Roof which actually means "The Sea of ​​Faith". a real sea with a pebble beach. “Melancholy, long withdrawn roar” (Arnold 1867) term of fear. The Poem really took over, it took us to a real sea, a beach that has such beautiful sand with pebbles on it. Something that hurt us emotionally, this poem really told us a story that really references a place that exists. As I said before about the sand... middle of paper ...... hase “Ah, Love, let's be real” (Arnold 1867) Reading this term, I think of two hoping that They found love. wishing it could be true. “Lying before us like a land of dreams” (Arnold 1867) this phase is something that dreams of lying before something like that is really hard to find, I think, I really know exactly what they want say, I really tried to understand love, this subject is really difficult to find. I really think it really takes time to understand everything, I really believe that you have to take your time to make sure that the person you really believe in is the one before making the decision you want to be with. sit down and get to know each other. the life. The last part of this poem leaves me a little confused, I think she doesn't want any pain who struggled to survive the night. Have the dream of lying on the earth.
