Think about the speaker’s mission in “The Song of Wandering Aengus.” How determined is he to complete his mission of finding his
“dream girl”? This question can help you identify another theme in the poem. What theme is it? Write your response in the form of a clear statement of theme. Then support that theme with specific evidence from the text. Organize and explain how figurative language, allusion, and other poetic elements in the poem support the theme you have identified. Use transitions to show the relationships among these ideas, and conclude with a statement that supports your information.
