How did alyohin defined love?

Alyohin defines love as a great mystery and he claims it to be one incontestable truth ever stated about love. One can argue about it as one pleases. Both love each other but Pelageya does not want to marry him rather she wishes to stay just so. Nikanor wants to marry her and in his drunken mood he beats her.

he agrees with the monk's positions.

hello,

your answer is a) the metaphor suggests that the poetic themes are serious and dark.

collins is comparing the poem to a dark room. he is suggesting that the poems theme is serious and wants you to understand it. you don't need to understand the poet in order to understand the poem. you also don't need to move around while reading it. he is simply saying the poem has a dark and serious theme.
