The speaker exhibits a profound loneliness and introspection, and a need to escape the source of their loneliness. The tragedy of the character is, of course, that their loneliness comes from within — it is inescapable. By the end of the poem, the speaker is forced to acknowledge their stagnancy and the darkness within themself.
