What is the most prominent theme in the poem “A Red, Red Rose”?

Fate
Love
Death
Nature

The correct answer is: Love

One of the main themes of the poem “A Red, Red Rose” is love, reflected in the speaker's intense declarations of love for their beloved. While the other options of fate, death, and nature may also be present in the poem, they are not the central focus or primary theme. There are mentions of fate and death, but they serve as supporting details to the overall theme of love. Nature is also present in the form of natural imagery, however, it is used to further emphasize the speaker's love for their beloved rather than being the main focus. Therefore, love is the most prominent theme in this poem.
