May someone please help with this question?
"Whoso list to hunt, I know where is an hind,/But as for me, alas, I may no more./The vain travail hath wearied me so sore..."
In these opening lines from Wyatt's Whoso List To Hunt, what has the speaker given up on "Capturing"?
a kingdom
a deer
a treasure
a woman

Respuesta :

Good Morning!

a woman

Thomas Wyatt's text portrays a metaphor between hunting and relationship. The idea is that the "deer" is a representation of the woman he loves.


Hugs!

Answer: A woman

In this poem, the speaker explains that he is tired of going after a "hind," and that he has decided to give up on capturing her. A "hind" is a female deer, and in this case, it symbolizes a woman. Many people believe this woman to be Anne Boleyn, as she allegedly had an affair with the author of the poem, Sir Thomas Wyatt.
