Well Hunting Poem Theme
Well, hunting is in the title of the poem, and it's all over the poem too
—
literally everywhere. But this isn't a poem about going out and shootin' something for dinner. No, no, no
—
it's about hunting a woman (not literally of course). It's about chasing a girl in a romantic and sexual kind of way, with the catch that the girl belongs to somebody else (gasp). The speaker is trying to stop hunting her, but something about her is making that really impossible. He encourages others to try (which seems kind of mean), and tells them they'll fail as well. She's too wild, just like a
deer.
