| Summary |
"Henoch Arden" by Baron Alfred Tennyson Tennyson is a narrative poem written during the Victorian era. The book explores themes of love, loss, and the passage of time through the story of Henoch, a fisherman whose life is profoundly affected by his long absence from home. The poem follows Henoch's journey from his youthful love for Annie Lee to his unexpected return after years at sea, only to find that life has moved on in his absence. The storyline begins with Henoch, Annie, and their friend Philip in their childhood, highlighting their innocent love and the jealousy that ensues as they grow older. Henoch leaves to seek a better life, enduring shipwreck and solitude, while Annie, believing him dead, eventually marries Philip, who has been caring for her children. Upon his return to the village, Henoch grapples with his feelings of loss and betrayal, as he discovers Annie's new life with Philip. The narrative encapsulates the emotional turmoil faced by Henoch as he resolves to remain hidden to protect Annie and his children from the heartache of his return, ultimately choosing to let go for the sake of their happiness.
