What is the main theme reflected in this excerpt from “ulysses” by alfred, lord tennyson? there gloom the dark broad seas. my mariners, souls that have toil'd, and wrought, and thought with me-- that ever with a frolic welcome took the thunder and the sunshine, and opposed free hearts, free foreheads--you and i are old; old age hath yet his honour and his toil. death closes all; but something ere the end, some work of noble note, may yet be done, not unbecoming men that strove with gods. 1. the old have free hearts and free minds. 2. the mariners have toiled hard to avoid the dark and broad seas 3. it is very important to have free time and sunshine in life. 4. the old can regain honor by taking up challenges again.

The main theme reflected in this excerpt from “Ulysses” written by Alfred, Lord Tennyson is that the old can regain honor by taking up the challenges again. In this excerpt Ulysses shifts attention to the port of Ithaca where he tells us a ship is preparing to set sail and says that “Free hearts, free foreheads – you and I are old; /Old age hath yet his honor and his toil;” meaning that even if they are old, they can still regain their honor by taking challenges.

the direction of the magnetic field produced by an electric current will change when the direction of the electric current changes. for example : if a current is flowing in a straight length of wire, the magnetic field is described by a concentric circle (using right-hand rule).
