Answer 2

We see a mother's overwhelming love for her daughter in' Solitude — for the girl child who is still going to become a woman. The mother is worried that the community will shortly force her young daughter, now full of youth, spontaneity and gladness, to follow suffocating customary procedure. Such customs allow the child to marry and to become a wife and daughter in law, obediently and unquestionably, who have little choice but to do what her in-laws demand. It prays that her husband's home, in an unfamiliar country, will be taken care of by her daughter. This poem is concerned about the inevitable loss of the spontaneity, independence and unconcern of the girl

Explanation:

• ‘Solitude -for the Girl Child’ is a touching lyric, musical and full of startling images. To her daughter, it's a mother's prayer. The mother fears that the child will have to live one day with and around unfamiliar people who may not understand her uniqueness.
• The mother in the poem is disturbed by the possibility that her daughter may be handled indifferently in her husband's place, in which she is anxious and sleepless by lack of affection and concern. The poem reflects the profound grief of a mother for the uncertain future of her precious daughter where she could be bereft of tender and loving treatment for all of life. The poem’s title is her desperate desire to let her daughter be herself.
• The poet uses the word rouse purposefully, as it does not simply mean awakening, but implies consciousness. It uses a sleeping girl to represent innocence but sooner or later it is conscious of the real world in which a young girl needs much love and consideration.
• The mother knows her daughter is only a child: she has absolute confidence. "Half open" eyes offer the impression of a child who is full of life, excitement, and like any other child, unaware of unfamiliar faces. This is a child who is sleeping without care. The beautiful appearance and purity of the girl concerns her mother even though she knows that the girl has done nothing wrong–she is innocent and irreproachable
• The mother is very worried about what happens to her daughter who has always remained happy in her parent's home and was spoken to only softly. The people she lives with are likely to have very different habits and behaviors–people who are loud and dismissive to women. The poem ends with the mother sharing her biggest fear that her daughter will lose her mind and never sleep again.
• The poem is a desperate mother's dream that she and her husband and family live in peace and tranquility, even though she lives away from her parents. In general, also in grueling activities married girls are supposed to be uncompromising. You accept that the poem ends on a note which is hard and distressing, but realistic: the purity and beauty of a young girl may make her a protector, but she cannot guarantee her vulnerability and shield her from misuse.
