Personification- I'm not quite sure, but, "Is this a dagger which I see before me," appears to be personification. I could be wrong.

Hyperbole- "The handle toward my hand? Come. let me clutch thee:--"

Sindrei [870]

*You control your own destiny.*

Two lines of the poem directly support this claim. They are...

"I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul."

Meaning that the ultimate determining factor is you. Everyone is granted a choice, fate and destiny do not control you, because everyone has free-will.

Answer:

Love and Grief are the main ideas in this story. You must remember that any mother, wherever she is from, and whatever religion she may be, loves her child.
