Which word best describes the theme of "Sympathy" by Paul Laurence Dunbar?


hope
restriction
admiration
activity

I choose C only because it seems more sense but I'm still a little confused...

I don't think it's admiration.

The first two stanzas are about restriction; the last seems to be about hope.

Well, Dunbar certainly feels sympathy for the bird. Does that mean admiration?
