    dark, gives the notion that the narrator that can see, is reluctant to show the confused dreamer from the first stanza the light and what he is hiding in the dark.

    “Eve of St. Agnes” had an overwhelming amount of information to take in, and I mean a lot. The setting where the poem had taken place is what had drawn me in from the get-go.

    When you have a dream, what are your dreams made of? In my opinion, dreams are just like treasures of life. Each dream is owned by a different person, and no one can criticism it. “Never let anyone lower your goals” (Alexander 66). Dream just likes spiritual support to a person.
