The theme of "Solitude" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox is the ability to find peace, self-awareness, and inner strength through solitude. The poem explores the idea that being alone can be a source of comfort and growth, allowing individuals to connect with their true selves and the world around them in a meaningful way.
The main theme is the cruelty of humanity. When you are in a joyful mood, people want to keep your compamy since they want a share of happiness. However if you are sowncast and gloomy, people tend to avoid you due to their desire to avoid pain and seek happiness. The world is like an echo, which responds and resounds to happiness. When there is sadness and melancholy, 'solitude' (as indicated in the title) is the only thing you are with left.
One message that the author is trying to point out is that, we have to be self-reliant and that there are things that we have to do alone, like bearing pain since no one is willing to shoulder your burden. Keeping ourselves cheerful is very important since you are the only one who can shed light into your own life.
