The Brook appears te be a symbol of life? What values do you learn from it
Answers
The poem ‘The Brook’ not only describes the
journey of the brook but it also parallels the journey of
human life. The poet wishes to highlight one important
difference, that human life is transitory and comes to an
end with death but the brook is immortal, its journey
continues non-stop.
The brook passes through many ups and downs like
the highs and lows of human life. The brook passes
through various places, which affects its smooth flow.
Similarly human beings also encounter different problems,
which affect their personality in turn. Just as the brook
meets many kinds of life, like trout and grayling, similarly
human beings interact with different people in the journey
of life. They help and support them, just like the brook
sustains many flowers, plants and sea-life. The brook
imparts its zest and verve like human beings. Somewhere
it is noisy, somewhere it is calm, like the peace and
aggression depicted by the human beings.
So the brook is a symbol of struggle of life, of meeting
different odds, to remain undeterred in facing challenges,
without any fear and still continues in one's pursuit. The
brook provides a valuable lesson to remain unshaken in
one’s goal to accept joys and sorrows in one’s stride and
still remain steadfast. So the brook and life symbolise
constant movement, change, dynamism and renewal.
so we learn that no care about how many problems are there we just have
to overcome it .
