The main theme of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poem "How Do I Love Thee," is that love is a powerful and moving force in people's lives. It is expressed through Browning's words in the poem.

How is this same theme best conveyed in "Atalanta, the Fleet-Footed Huntress"?


Attracted by her beauty, swiftness, and courage, men rush to Arcadia, wanting to marry Atalanta.

Meleager gives the boar's skin to Atalanta as a prize for killing the boar.

Hunters find Atalanta in the bear's den and take her home with them to raise her.

Atalanta lets Hippomenes get ahead of her so he can win the race.
