“I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” Analysis Questions:

1. (Choose one of your own questions from last week.)

2. How does Wordsworth use nature to illustrate the theme of this poem?

3. What symbolic significance do the daffodils, the sea, and the cloud have in this poem? How do they contribute to the theme?

4. Using evidence from the diction (word choice) and what you know about connotation, discuss the shift in the speaker’s tone from the beginning to the end of the poem.

5. Wordsworth believed that nature and human intuition impart knowledge and wisdom not found in books and formal education. Do you agree? Explain your answer.
