Poem Theme?

What is the theme to this poem? Why? Explain.



The most helpful answer gets best.



The Plaid Dress



by Edna St. Vincent Millay



Strong sun, that bleach



The curtains of my room, can you not render



Colourless this dress I wear?鈥?br> This violent plaid



Of purple angers and red shames; the yellow stripe



Of thin but valid treacheries; the flashy green of kind deeds done



Through indolence high judgments given here in haste;



The recurring checker of the serious breach of taste?



No more uncoloured than unmade,



I fear, can be this garment that I may not doff;



Confession does not strip it off,



To send me homeward eased and bare;



All through the formal, unoffending evening, under the clean



Bright hair,



Lining the subtle gown. . .it is not seen,



But it is there.

the theme is self or redemption. The persona wants to be a new person, like a white clothes, so that all the colors (either anger, shame, treacheries and even good deeds disappear) But he knows that's not possible(no nore uncolored than unmade) and confessing for his crimes does not make him feel better, that's why he wants to be a new person.
