Who does the knight in “Eldorado” represent? What does Eldorado itself represent

History

EastWind [94]2 years ago

Answer:

Knight represents everyone who goes through life and searches for something ideal, and Eldorado represents those unreachable ideals.

Explanation:

<u>Knight represents everyone who is going through life and who is searching for someone.</u> The journey described in the poem is life, presented as an endless search for something better and greater symbolized in the glory and gold of Eldorado.

Therefore, <u>Eldorado itself presents some almost unreachable good, the ideals people hold and crave and search for their whole life.</u> In this poem and everyday communication, Eldorado is used as a symbol of yearning and symbol of the promised place.

Some analyses even think Poe saw Eldorado as the symbol of death – it is the place which knight can reach only after a long journey and suffering. This analysis is explained by the thought that <u>Ideal is unreachable.</u>  In the Christian tradition, ideal doesn't exist in this world, but only in the realms of heaven, which means after death.
