Don't ask questions that have to do with homework assignments.

First of all, understand that it is a miracle that this made it into the Bible canon at all. It is extremely erotic. It is in two voices. See if you can pick out the male and female voices in there. Untangle that skein first and then see the refrain back and forth between the two.
It may well be related to the songs done with the opening of the flood gates to the fields. The Chinese have such.
Understand that the Jewish culture (I am far from an expert on this) places a great deal of emphasis on the union of the male and female aspects. This is God and Shekinah. This love poem is emblematic of that. You might Google Shekinah and read more about that.

First you read it. Read it already? Good. Then you pick one general thing about it. Then you explain why you think that. You develope and prove your thesis. The tricky part is finding what to analyse. Research the book. Google, religious websites. Find an angle and develope it. Then write it out.
PS
I can help you out later when you some of the papter done. Just message me.
Most important. Thesis. Find it and you will own that essay.

One possible angle..... It is the only book in the entire Bible which contains a woman's perspective.
