Question

summary for fidelity written by william wordsworth

Answer 1

A shepherd is astonished to see a little dog which is barking in a very unusual manner among rocks and fern in the mountainous region.  He wonders how the strange little dog could be there all alone in the deserted cave-like rocky mountainous region far from any human habitation.  The only other sign of liveliness that the shepherd could spot in the isolated region was that of a fish jumping out of a pool of water and a raven cawing.  It seems as if the sun’s rays and the howling wind are trying to rush past the region and seem trapped there.  The shepherd has a faint suspicion of foreboding and hurriedly follows the dog across the rocky terrain and is shocked to see a human skeleton lying on the ground.  The shepherd then realizes that it was the skeleton of Charles Gough and even remembers the day the tragic accident occurred.  The dog had stayed by the side of Charles Gough for 3 months in the difficult terrain.  The incident depicts the enduring affection that dogs display which surpasses that of human beings.

Read and reflect on the following last lines of the poem which beautifully describes the love and devotion of the pet dog and sums up the entire poem Fidelity.

“He knows, who gave that love sublime;

And gave that strength of feeling great

Above all human estimate.”

Answer 2

"Fidelity" written by William Wordsworth tells us about a shepherd who is astounded to see a little canine that is barking in an exceptionally strange way among rocks and plants in the  locale.

• He considers how the weird little canine could be there in isolation in the abandoned cavern-like rough locale a long way from any human residence.

• The main other indication of enthusiasm that the shepherd could recognize in the secluded locale was that of a fish leaping out of a pool of water and a raven cawing.

• It appears as though the sun's beams and the wailing breeze are attempting to rush past the locale and appear caught there.  

• The shepherd then, at that point, realizes that it was the skeleton of Charles Gough and even recollects the day the unfortunate mishap happened.  

• Peruse and think about the accompanying last lines of the sonnet which wonderfully depicts the adoration what's more dedication of the pet canine and summarizes the whole sonnet, Fidelity.
