The Eagle What is the theme in The Eagle by Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 12:19 Last updated by Cat on 13 Jun 03:53
The theme is pretty simple: Eagles are cool! The speaker is excited to see an eagle in all its majesty, clinging to a mountain ridge. The natural world, the ocean and the blue sky, become extensions of the eagle's grandeur.
