Question

What does the speaker in “Remembrance” by Emily Brontë plan to do?

Answer 1

The speaker in "Remembrance" is planning to continue to live her life, and try not to think of her pain so much. In this poem, the speaker explains that her lover died some years ago. Since that time, she has never been truly happy again, and her life feels much emptier. However, she also tells us that, as time has passed, the pain has decreased. Although she might never love in that way again, she has decided to stop reflecting on what she lost, and instead focus on continuing her life.

Answer 2

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "The speaker here is mourning over the death of her lover. It was fifteen years ago but now she is talking about her reaction. She doesn't want to dwell more on reminiscing and remembering her lover, otherwise she will be plunged into depression.
