How is his work a commentary on the mores, religious temperament, and society in which he lived in late eighteenth century England? What aspects of this commentary are still relevant?

During eighteenth century, people lived in a society where they think that they could do anything with women, child and soldiers. His commentary helped people to change someone’s mind in that century where people do not think about others feeling. His work on all three poems shows that how people were struggling but still show that they are happy about it. It is still relevant because there are some places where there are child labor going on and also misbehavior with women going on. His commentary shows that he is into it and he wants to help people to get out of this situations.

How is his work a commentary on the mores, religious temperament, and society in which he lived in late eighteenth-century England? What aspects of this commentary are still relevant today?

Blake was not satisfied with all things that were going on around him, by writing these poems he was able to express how he felt. In his poem “the Gate of Paradise” he describes how even people see injustice and don’t say anything about it. Where, in his poem “London” he mentions that when he was walking near the Thames, he saw people with sadness and fear. Even, soldiers are been treated tough by their kings. In his poem “ The Chimney Sweeper” he was more specific in describing how children are been punished by child labor. For example, children were not able to cry, instead, they were saying the word “weep weep” to describe how they were feeling while sweeping in the Chimney. Blake was mad because no one from the society wanted to fix this, everyone was fine seeing children work. What made it more difficult is that children were smiling and happy even though they were living a different life from which they should have lived, they never complained about it. Blake opinions still relevant today because there are still children around the world works. People with powers or society are okay with a child working instead of attending school.

What is the relationship between the speaker or poet and nature in Shelley’s work? Does the poet work in harmony with nature or rebel against it somehow? Or some combination of the two?

This poem highlights a “wind” that roars through nature in the Autumn. The author of this poem establishes their fascination with nature and its mystical characteristics. Shelley highlights this with alluding to the seasons, oceans, bays, and more. Despite the poem going into themes of higher powers and the paranormal, it’s obvious the poet/speaker is in harmony with nature. The poet seems to appreciate the power nature has and the role it plays in the living and the dead.
