The theme for this poem can be that paradise (El Dorado) is only obtained in death, such as Heaven in Christianity. It may also be that there is no true paradise on earth and all paradises lie elsewhere. The knight searches his whole life for El Dorado (paradise) and, in the end, the shade tells him to ride through the "Valley of the Shadow". The valley of the shadow represents death in this case and El Dorado lies beyond it and beyond death.
