Answer: D) encourage people to be more independent in their thinking.
Explanation:
Allusion is a literary device which provides a brief reference to a person/object of historical, cultural or political importance. In this excerpt from Whitman's <em>"Song of Myself"</em>, the speaker makes an allusion to himself in the following line: <em>"You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me"</em>. The passage introduces a crucial theme in the poem - that we should not accept someone else's experience as universal, but gain our own experience instead. In the above-mentioned line, Whitman warns the reader that this is also applicable to the viewpoint he presents in the poem - the reader should not believe Whitman either.
