What request does Arnold make to his beloved wife? ( MEG 102 ) ( MATTHEW ARNOLD )

Matthew Arnold's poem "Dover Beach" does not make a direct request to his wife, as the poem is written as an internal monologue reflecting on the speaker's own thoughts and emotions. The poem expresses the speaker's feelings of uncertainty and despair about the state of the world and the human condition.

However, in the final stanza of the poem, the speaker does make an indirect plea to his lover to "be true" to him. This request is not a call to action, but rather an appeal to the stability and constancy of love in a world that seems to be full of chaos and uncertainty. The speaker seems to be seeking comfort and reassurance in the face of his despair, and he turns to his lover as a source of stability and hope in an otherwise dark and uncertain world.
