What does Anne’s change in point of view revel to us, the reader, about her personality?

I'm split in two. One side contains my exuberant cheerfulness, my flippancy, my joy in life and, above all, my ability to appreciate the lighter side of things.  This side of me is usually lying in wait to ambush the other one, which is much purer, deeper and finer. No one knows Anne's better side, and that's why most people can't stand me.

Explanation:

We can see Anne’s intense energy in this passage, as well as her frustration with the war that drags on and on as more as more people die and suffer and as her own life becomes less bearable, even as she struggles to remain always optimistic. Still, in spite of her grisly tone, sophistication, and bluster, there remains a naïve quality to Anne’s political perspectives. Much of this is due to the fact that she is so isolated. She has many books and the radio, but still a very limited window on the world.

yes the first one is correct .

hello,

your answer is a) the metaphor suggests that the poetic themes are serious and dark.

collins is comparing the poem to a dark room. he is suggesting that the poems theme is serious and wants you to understand it. you don't need to understand the poet in order to understand the poem. you also don't need to move around while reading it. he is simply saying the poem has a dark and serious theme.
