Question

Which line from Wilcox’s poem best reflects a contrasting view of regret when compared to Lazarus’s message?

Answer 1

Answer:

Lazarus, in her poem, ‘Heroes, an inspiring work’ emphasizes the fact that some people who accept their lives as it is should receive more appreciations. Whereas, Wilcox, in her poem, explains that there is no necessity to accept life as it is. She strongly believes that if someone commits an error, they must try to resolve it. She also explains that it is not a bad idea to rebuild a life again. The following lines illustrate her strong approach towards regret,

    ''If he will stand firm on the grave of his errors,

      And instead of regretting, resolve, resolve. "
