Answer 1

In the context of this poem, we cannot control our destiny, for this reason, the speaker has a pessimistic view of his life and destiny. This is a valid perspective from the point of view of the poem.

We can arrive at this answer because:

• The speaker of the poem shows a negative and pessimistic viewpoint on his life.

• This is because he recognizes that very bad situations happened in his life, which made him very melancholy and depressed.

• These bad things happen because the speaker has no control over life, things happen unexpectedly and he can't control fate, which means that more bad things can happen and he can't do anything to prevent it.

In this case, the speaker points out, that we would be happier if we could control our destiny, as we would only maintain happy situations in our life, but that cannot happen.

This question is about the poem "A Dream Within a Dream."
