What could happen?

Does it have to do with the Wild thing's Nature?

What is to be regarded and respected so that even if all of your heart goes to It, You should never Love it?

What is the nature of this "Wild" thing?

Answer 1

You must not because she would be hard to control and it was have negative consequences for the wild one...

Answer 2

Very interesting question. Love is confining. Many of us like the comfort of that confinement, that security. But if you put a wild thing in a cage you change its nature and it therefore loses its beauty. Wild things are meant to be adored from afar. Just a thought, who ever really knows the true intent of an authors words?

Answer 3

I think it is up to a person's interpretation of that line.Personally I think it is meant to be another person and I can say I have loved a few wild women in my time and there have been good times & bad.

Don't forget that song by the Troggs called 'Wild Thing'.
