5/6 "The Highwayman"
Consider II. 25-30, which contains the highwayman’s conversation with Bess.
Why do you think the highwayman promises to come back to Bess in spite of
the risks he describes? Think about his words, his character (what kind of
man he is), and his behavior towards Bess and towards others. What does
their relationship say about the power of love? What do you think the theme
of the poem might be?
