Faith Loss in Darkness
In his poem, “Dover Beach,” Matthew Arnold seems to portray a number of ideas including of the beauty of the coast, his sense of randomness of human existence, reality and one of the key ones I most interested is being faith. The poem is a reaction to Matthew Arnold loss of faith, due to developments in scientific theory that basically contradict the previous beliefs and moral values set in place by religion. He sees the world as a bleak place and life as meaningless without the existence of God. This is the basic meaning of the third stanza so far, stating that religion, which was once strong force, losing its power due to the amount of people, including himself that are taking the side of science and materialistic of this world rather that his faith. The use of simile, imagery and metaphor in his poem makes it hard to understand, but as you read the poem several times it gradually make sense. In this poem, Arnold seems to make each of the stanzas to have its own characteristics, effectively transferring the theme of the poem. The poem itself has a realistic tone through Arnold’s use of words and illustrative descriptions. Arnolds seems to give life and emotions to the poem by the flow of words such as “pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,” giving the reader a sense of motion, and the feel of the sea close by. After reading through the poem, it seems that Arnold was trying to describe what he felt was wrong with the world and that faith in the world is disappearing because it is being constantly tormented by the new “waves” of science and materialism in the world.
In the beginning of the poem Arnold expresses how calm everything seems, and it’s like any other night. However, as the poem progresses, he mentions how Sophocles’s heard the sadness in the Aegean Sea, just as he was hearing the sadness in his own sea. In mentioning “the sea of faith,” he reveals that while it looks calm and normal on the surface of the sea, really, the sea is singing a song of sadness and despair. During this time, people began questioning religion and turning to science or Darwinism. Arnold is expressing how people used to not think twice about what they believed, but now the world was unsure. In telling his love to stay true to him, he is hoping that at least one thing in the world will remain the same and true. To him, the world was left in darkness by the threat against faith.
As Arnold’s world of the mid 1800’s, the pillar of faith supporting society was perceived as crumbling under the weight of scientific postulates, such as the evolutionary theory of Darwin, the existence of God and the whole Christian scheme of things was cast in doubt. In this poem it seems that Arnold is deeply religious, lamented the dying of the light of faith, as symbolized by the light he sees in Dover Beach, which gleams one moment and is gone the next.
Throughout the poem Arnold used the sea to symbolize for a time when faith in God was strong and comforting. This faith itself wrapped itself around us, protecting us from doubt and despair, as the sea wraps itself around the world. Now, the “sea of faith/ was once, too, at full” has become a sea of doubt. Science and materialism challenges the percepts of faith in religion; human misery makes the world and its people feel abandoned, lonely. The people in the world place their faith in material things and thus the certainty of religion withdraws itself from the human grasp and leaves only darkness behind.
Furthermore, in the third stanza of the poem “Dover Beach” Arnold is discussing faith initially as being fresh and new. After it matures for a while it becomes stale, abandon and loses its appeal. As he contemplates Dover Beach, Arnold hears the “melancholy, long withdrawing roar” of the “sea of faith” (line 25, 21). It seems as though Arnold is questioning his own faith. He thinks that once lost, without faith, the world is a cold place. This is the dismal message Arnold is trying to convey. Faith lost, is elusive, like a ethereal vision of hope. We can only grasp it in dreams. We feel it and see it the moment before waking, but upon waking, forget almost everything, but not all. Arnold point is summed up in the end of the poem where it said “ignorant armies clash at night.” This line implies that both believers in faith answering everything and materialism similarly being the best way forward are both wrong in assuming only one is right.
The poem “Dover Beach” is definitely describing faith being abandoned and loss. Arnold sees the need for God dwindling among the world as in him, but it seems the poem itself is telling that he realizes that he should have more faith because without faith we are all lost. In an attempt to give substance to his life, he clings to what he loves, hoping that it will be enough. Arnold understands the faith has been dwindling significantly in the recent past and realizes that we have become increasingly despondent due to this, having no choice but to turn to love, as he himself has done, and cling to another in hopes of not losing his faith in this doubtful and materialistic world.

You can help a lot by eliminating "it seems" throughout. And spellcheck wouldn't hurt.
