Show transcript
Both poets use language to display a reverence for nature and attribute omniscience to it.
However, Brontë is more explicit in the suggestion that nature is specifically trying to soothe and comfort the reader.
Both poets personify nature; however, Brontë gives nature a voice.
Arguably, both poets are critiquing the societal shift brought about by the Industrial Revolution.
Both poets display Romantic characteristics in their writing.
