Question

How does the donkey pass his day in the story nicholas Nye

Answer 1

The central theme of the poem concerns empathizing with feelings of loneliness in one's old age. In the poem, the speaker describes the donkey as being "more than a score of donkey's years." A score is 20 years, which is rather old for a donkey. While we don't know the speaker's age, we know that he feels a deep connection with the donkey and has plenty of time on his hands to loaf around the meadow all day long. The connection between the speaker and donkey is revealed when the speaker describes the donkey as seeming to smile at him and says that "[s]omething much better than words" passed between them. Due to this connection and the manner in which the speaker spends his time, we can assume the speaker is also in his old age and feels a sense of comradeship with the old donkey because the donkey is just as old and lonely as he is. Due to their mutual old age and loneliness, both the donkey and speaker are able to feel empathy for each other, a feeling the theme of the poem promotes.
