Over the course of a journey, the narrator asks her guide eight questions about the road ahead. The narrator asks if the roads are all up-hill and if the journey will take all day. The guide replies in the affirmative. Next, the narrator asks if there is a place to rest for the night and if the darkness will obscure said resting-place from their view. The guide assures the narrator that there is an inn and they will not be able to miss it. The narrator's fifth question is about which other travelers will be on the road. At the inn, the narrator asks if the other travelers would prefer for her to knock or call out. The guide tells the narrator that someone will open the door. Lastly, the narrator asks if there will be a bed for her. The guide tells her that there are beds for everyone.
Answer:
The main theme of Christina Rossetti's 1861 narrative poem "Up-Hill" is essentially the meaning of life and death. The journey of life is one of spiritual nature; however, it is not an easy one. It can be a challenge—an uphill battle—but a challenge that one must learn how to overcome.
