Major Themes in “Song of the Open Road”: Freedom, joy, and optimism are the major themes of this poem. Throughout the poem, the poet encourages the readers to be true to themselves and live a free life.
The message given is freedom. The aspect of freedom can be found in various texts from there because the character Whitman often talks about himself in positive ways saying he is care free and he observes his freedom? How he does that is because of the open road which helps him go to places, leads him to places to wherever he wants to go to.
