"Isolation. To Marguerite"; "To Marguerite--Continued"; "Dover Beach"

1. What kind of collective picture do these poems provide of the Victorian world and of human relationships, especially love relationships, in that world? Be specific, using textual evidence.
2. "Dover Beach" opens on a tranquil and seemingly pleasant natural scene: the sea is "calm," the tide is "full," the moon shines "fair." How does that change before the first verse paragraph ends? What is the situation between the two lovers? Based on the way the poem ends, what do you think the future holds for them?
   
3. Arnold frequently depicts boundaries in space and moments of transition in time. Provide as many examples of this as you can from "Dover Beach" and one of the other poems. How does Arnold use them? How do they relate to the content of the poems?
