Pitifully


The word 'pitifully' in this excerpt is significant because it tells the reader the narrator's feelings towards the girl getting married. Without that word, there would not be the same level of insight or emotion into the narrator's thoughts. the word 'pitiful' has a negative connotation, if you are feeling pity for someone it means you do not think they should be in the situation they are in and wish you could help get them out of it. This tells the reader that the narrator feels the bride is far too young to be getting married and maybe it's something out of her control or that she is being forced into.

Based on this excerpt from the poem "The Solitary Reaper" by William Wordsworth, what can be determined about the speaker and th
prohojiy [21]

In this excerpt <u>the speaker expresses his frustration with the fact that even though he doesn't understand the language in which the tune is being sung, he still wishes to comprehend the message</u>. He wants to understand what the singing solitary reaper is singing about.

The conflict here is that they don't speak the same language.

We can see it more clearly in this verse: "Will no one tell me what she sings?" (he doesn't speak the language); and in the rest of the stanza, he keeps on wondering what the song may mean.

Hope this helps!
