In William Wordsworth poem “Nun’s Fret Not,” Wordsworth’s main motif is his wish to feel free and not bound to an everyday day routine like others tend to normally do. However, he realizes that being bound is not always such a bad thing.

            In the first paragraph of my second blog, I support this thesis by describing the different places different people are bound to. He describes the “convents narrow room,” the cells and the citadels. All three of these characters are bound to the places physically. This is where they belong. The maids, weaver and bees are all bound to physical places also known as their “jobs.” They escape when they are done working but are also bound because they cannot leave the place they belong to. When he notices that the bees fly to the foxglove bells, a beautiful and peaceful place, he realizes that being bound and forced to do the same thing time and time again is not always such a bad thing.

            In the second paragraph of my blog post, I support this thesis by noticing that Wordsworth is now analyzing his own life as a writer and poet. He feels as though being a writer allows him to be free and express himself. Wordsworth mentions that he likes the sonnet form because it gives him some sort of confinement while not making him feel completely bound to it. The sonnet form allows him to find comfort when he feels completely isolated and alone. In the end Wordsworth realizes that sometimes it is fine to have some sort of confinement so that he can express himself while not being forever bound to it only when he feels like it is needed.
