A Noiseless Spider Central Idea
In Walt Whitman’s “A Noiseless Spider” the central idea is that an isolated soul, facing the vast unknown will instinctively explore and reach out, in attempts to find a connection that would allow them to further understand their place in life. The human soul, when alone in uncharted territories will strive to explore, similar to how the spider “stood isolated” and is left to “explore the vacant vast surrounding.” The spider, all alone in the tremendous unknown area around it decides to “[launch] forth filament, filament, filament out of itself, ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.” The spider tirelessly launches its web out similarly to how a human soul would desperately launch its own “webs”
