“The Highwayman” Academic Paragraph
The “Highwayman” written by Alfred Noyes is a narrative poem that illustrates that the theme is that when you love someone you would do anything for them. In the text it says,”Then her fingers moved in the moonlight, Her musket shattered her breast in the moonlight and warned him with her death.” This line is important because Bess kills herself to warn the Highwayman that something is wrong. Also the Highwayman was willing to get revenge even at the risk of his own life. “Back, he spurred like a madman, shouting a curse to the sky...with the white road smoking behind him and his rapier brandished high...Blood-red were his spurs in the golden noon; wine-red was his velvet coat...When they shot him down on
