Ulysses by Alfred Lord Tennyson

Respond answers:

1. The poem is clearly written in a first Peron point of view, so the narrator has written as if writing from this persons mind.  The meaning of this poem to me is like a last wish. In the poem Tennyson references death ion several occasions, so its like he has this last wish to explore the seas with his men instead of sitting on a throne commanding people who don't truly know or worship him. 
2. My favorite lines: 51-52

"Death closes all: but something ere the end,
Some work of noble note, may yet be done."

In these lines i believe the narrator is trying to say that he understands that one day he must go but, he has things that he still can do for the world and he would rather go out, explore, and make a difference instead of dwelling one that fact the one day he must day and being miserable in his life at home.
