Answer 1

The Captive Dove
by Anne Bronte



Poor restless dove, I pity thee;
And when I hear thy plaintive moan,
I mourn for thy captivity,
And in thy woes forget mine own.

To see thee stand prepared to fly,
And flap those useless wings of thine,
And gaze into the distant sky,
Would melt a harder heart than mine.

In vain—in vain! Thou canst not rise:
Thy prison roof confines thee there;
Its slender wires delude thine eyes,
And quench thy longings with despair.

Oh, thou wert made to wander free
In sunny mead and shady grove,
And, far beyond the rolling sea,
In distant climes, at will to rove!

Yet, hadst thou but one gentle mate
Thy little drooping heart to cheer,
And share with thee thy captive state,
Thou couldst be happy even there.

Yes, even there, if, listening by,
One faithful dear companion stood,
While gazing on her full bright eye,
Thou mightst forget thy native wood.

But thou, poor solitary dove,
Must make, unheard, thy joyless moan;
The heart, that Nature formed to love,
Must pine, neglected, and alone.





Identify the point of view of the narrator. Explain how the point of view affects the meaning of the text as a whole. Use evidence from the text to support your answer.

Answer 2

.The point of view is first person, because the narrator uses "I" and "mine". It affects the meaning of the text as a whole because the narrator is giving their own personal feelings and emotions into the passage. "Poor restless dove, I pity thee" the narrator is explaining the pity they feel for the one being described.
