Based on this stanza from the poem “Alone” by Edgar Allen Poe, what is the poem’s main idea? From childhood's hour I have not been As others were—I have not seen As others saw—I could not bring My passions from a common spring— From the same source I have not taken My sorrow—I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone— And all I loved—I loved alone. A. The poet is remembering being a child. B. The poet believes he is happier than others. C. The poet is very sad and lonely. D. The poet thinks he is different from other children.

Respuesta :

D) he thinks he's different, you can tell when he said "from childhoods hour I have not been as other were."

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

The main theme of this poem is that the speaker has always felt different from other people, which has led him to shelter and isolate himself.

The speaker feels lonely because he cannot share neither his joy nor his sorrow with other people, since they seem to be so dissimilar. And the solitud and lonesomeness the speaker has to face makes him very miserable.
