Answer 1

Answer:

hey there mark me brainliest

Explanation:

In this poem, the speaker recalls an event in which he found a worm on the ground after it had rained. The worm was moving with "astounding strength" (line 1). Even though worms are blind, the worm's intuition, or "inner eye," was helping it move where it wanted to go (3). The fact that the worm follows a straight trajectory causes the speaker to exclaim to God: "It moved so straight! Oh God!" (4). The speaker then compares himself to the worm by noting that, in contrast to the worm, he gets where he's going through "absurd and devious routes" (line 5).

Following this, the speaker moves into a rhetorical question in which he asks where he can find a worm that is blinder than himself, who is both blind and "monstrously incapable" of being blind (line 8). The speaker characterizes this worm, which is paradoxically blinder than and not as blind as the speaker, as existing by itself, moving according to its instincts, and completely "free" (11).

Out of contempt for the worm, the speaker crushes it in an attempt to disregard the worm's "victory" over him (line 14). The speaker notes that the worm is dead and mocks it, asking it where its strength has gone. He notes that the God that made the worm wiser than the speaker will understand the speaker's decision to kill the worm as "the anger of a man" (line 18). The speaker comes to the conclusion that he is most like the worm through his anger. He ends the poem with a repetition of his action: "I've killed the worm" (20).

Answer 2

The poet of this poem said us that we usually don't care about the insects. Sometimes, knowingly or unknowingly we kill those tiny creatures. ... Mistakenly, we might kill some insects. For this, the poet urged us not to stamp those small, neglected and helpless creatures like worms through our uncontrolled movements.
