The poet suggests that goodness and beauty are doubly so when we’re talking about socks, they are delightful because they come in pairs. Do you think this is a serious remark or a tongue-in- cheek (playful/joking) comment? Do you agree that everything that comes in pairs is special or wonderful?

Explanation:

In the poem "Ode to My Socks" by Pablo Neruda", the poet compares his soft socks to the most beautiful things in life. He says that they were the most heavenly socks he had ever worn.

When the poet suggests that 'goodness and beauty are doubly so when we’re talking about socks, they are delightful because they come in pairs, ' he is making a serious remark.

The poet feels that a pair of socks, no matter how beautiful and soft, would have no purpose if one of the pair is missing. The beauty of socks comes when they are in pairs.

Yes, everything that comes in pairs is special or wonderful as we get to see and feel the same beautiful sight two times.
