The theme of something means the universal message that we all get from the excerpt. Not only one single group or classification of people, all the world should be able to get the same message(s) out of a certain piece of literature. The subjects are love, anger, revenge, death, the list goes on and on, but the theme of the narrative poem "The Highwayman" by Alfted Noyes is... You can do crazy things for love.
Another theme is: Love is an eternal bond.
And the second most important message is: One must not kick someone behind his/her back just in order to receive forced love.

ReneThe term "highwayman" is somewhat archaic; it referred to a kind of criminal who used to rob people who travelled on horseback on British highways, before the advent of cars. This highwayman was a criminal who lived by theft, and who loved the landlord's daughter and was loved by her in return, so deeply that she gave her life for him, tragically, since he then gave his own life trying to avenge her. The point of all this would be that even criminals are still human, and sometimes merit our sympathy, and the workings of justice can be overly cruel.

What does a Highwayman wear?
clothes
When did the highwayman die?
Well, the classic highwayman didn't really die out till after WW II but non-typicial highwaymen still exist today. Most are actually robbing military shipments or drug dealers but still. In a matter of speaking highwaymen existed during the cold war trying to steel nuclear material but I don't think any freelance onces suceeded.
