Answer Details
In D.H. Lawrence's poem 'Snake', the poet's confusion arises from his feelings of both fascination and fear towards the snake. On the one hand, he is fascinated by the beauty of the snake and its primal, wild nature. On the other hand, he is afraid of the snake and the danger it represents, as well as his own internalized fears and prejudices about snakes. This inner conflict leads to the poet's confusion about how to respond to the snake, whether to kill it or let it go. Ultimately, he decides to let it go, but the experience leaves him with a sense of regret and a questioning of his own values and beliefs.
