Question

Does the poem THE PLATE OF GOLD by James Henry Leigh Hunt teaches the reader a lesson ? Explain in your own words.

Answer 1

The poem 'The Plate of Gold' has a divine message for all the readers who read it. The message is as follows: God's omniscient eyes are looking the deeds of each and every human being on earth. God's heavenly reward is only for those who truly and sincerely love their fellow brethren and sisters. God knows fully well the difference between the hypocrites and the true lovers of mankind. All the priests, clergy, and other religious authorities can fail in their judgement about the truly deserved man/woman, but God sees everything justly. God's heavenly reward is not for those who are in competition of giving more charity out of their affluence; rather it is for them who truly feel the pain of the afflicted and the downtrodden and pray for their deliverance. Such lovers of mankind don't vie for any competition for heavenly reward.
