Question

Her smile paled and melted into tears, and she went back alone into the dark

in these lines ' dark ' is symbol of what ? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The speaker claims that one day while walking on a stony path, the King appeared on his chariot, holding a sword. The speaker requests that the king hire him. The speaker requests the king because he is in desperate need. The stony path represents struggle, and the sword in the king's hand represents a powerful person. 'Hire' indicates that the speaker desires what the king has. The king then takes the speaker's hand in his and tells him that he will hire him with his power, but that power is meaningless because it is not eternal. The king and his powers will perish. The speaker rejects the king's offer because he is not satisfied. The king departs in his carriage.

Explanation:

This stanza informs us that it is daytime and very hot outside. The house doors are shut. The speaker is walking down an uneven road. Then an elderly man emerged from his home, carrying a bag of gold. The old man pondered and discovered that the speaker was looking for something, so he offers to fire him (speaker) with his wealth. To demonstrate his wealth, the elderly man begins counting his gold coins one by one. Wealth is useless because it cannot make an old man young again or cool the weather. The speaker recognises that wealth, like power, is not something he requires because it does not last forever. He finally leaves.
