Question

But “The Ballad of Reading Gaol” is not some sappy love ode. It is a dark rumination on murder, the harshness of prison life and the execution of a fellow prisoner of Wilde’s, referred to as “C.T.W.” in the poem.

my opinion is that killing the thing you love is about making hard decisions about something (like problems) that is difficult for us to resolve. the coward or the weak dilly-dallies with the matter hoping it will just go away and be resolved on its own. the brave acts decisively even if its difficult. in a nutshell, tender heartedness is a weakness. one has to be strong of heart.
