The aspect that helps me understands the father’s and the daughter’s relationship is through the structure of the poem. An example for this is the 1st-4th stanza that shows her dependence on her father. This part of the poem shows the girls dependence and her trust in her father. It shows that she and the father have a strong relationship because they would travel at night together and explore the world together.

The word we are also used a lot by her, signifying that she is not alone but with her father.
