Answer:

Theme.

Explanation:

A theme is a literary device that tells the readers about the main idea or underlying meaning of what's been said or referred to in the text. A theme is a central topic that will resonate throughout the whole literary work.

The given definition <em>"the main idea or underlying meaning of a literary work which may be stated directly or indirectly"</em> is about a theme of any literary text. Most literary works will always have an underlying theme in their work, ranging from love, sorrow, poverty, success, or it could be anything.

Thus, the correct answer is a theme.

in the poem the dream of the rood why did the poet adorn the cross with gold and jewels in the first stanza
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

the earliest dream poem and one of the finest religious poems in the English language, once, but no longer, attributed to Caedmon or Cynewulf. In a dream the unknown poet beholds a beautiful tree—the rood, or cross, on which Christ died. The rood tells him its own story. Forced to be the instrument of the saviour’s death, it describes how it suffered the nail wounds, spear shafts, and insults along with Christ to fulfill God’s will. Once blood-stained and horrible, it is now the resplendent sign of mankind’s redemption. The poem was originally known only in fragmentary form from some 8th-century runic inscriptions on the Ruthwell Cross, now standing in the parish church of Ruthwell, now Dumfries District, Dumfries and Galloway Region, Scot. The complete version became known with the discovery of the 10th-century Vercelli Book in northern Italy in 1822.
