Detailed explanation-1: -He calls her his “dearest Friend” (115), his “dear, dear Friend” (116), and his “dear, dear Sister” (121). Wordsworth’s sister was named Dorothy. From these lines we can tell that he really likes her.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dorothy is referred to as “Friend” throughout the poem. Often the poem is simply called “Tintern Abbey.” The abbreviated title is effective for clarity’s sake, but it is also misleading, as the poem does not actually take place in the abbey.
Detailed explanation-3: -Accompanied by his sister Dorothy (whom he addresses warmly in the final paragraph as “thou my dearest Friend, / My dear, dear Friend"), Wordsworth did indeed revisit the abbey on the date stipulated after half a decade’s absence.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the poem “Tintern Abbey” the author expresses “Tintern Abbey” is Wordsworth’s experiment to consider how he himself copes with the loss of innocence and with the disappointment of the insufficiency of any “recompense” (Thomson).
