Symbols allow for a greater intricacy and depth, supplementing the plot, characters, and setting to show the author's complexity. The implementation of symbols by both authors builds upon the story and enhances they dynamics, as well as maturing the novels. Symbols contribute to the view of readers with many accompanying aspects to allow the story to grow as they can be applied to anything in the books. This allows for multiple views and ideas. If symbols where not implemented we would find a very dry, dull, unsophisticated novel.

#3

Setting is the foundation for both authors writing to coincide with plot, characters, and conflict. Austen and Shakespeare implement setting to underlay tone for each story, as well as mood. The darkness of caves and castles coincide with the plot and theme of Hamlet to portray the tonal setting. Elizabeth is subjected to formal and uptight expectation involving her future family life. This is done through the setting of British countryside, and sophisticated balls and parties in manors. Both authors use setting to supplement external pressure and intimidation upon the protagonist. This successfully leads to the same overall mood and tone presented later during the climax in which the main characters try and overcome. In a sense they are not only overcoming their conflicts but the settings they coincide with.

#2

Characters prove to be highly complex, and interesting in both Austen's and Shakespeare's writings. Hamlet and Elizabeth are juxtaposed as protagonist roles that present many similarities in relation to conflict and plot: Conscious, Spite, and Pressure affecting both characters coincide to highlight the importance of characters in Hamlet and Pride and Prejudice. Both characters are faced with life altering decicions in wich they can pick only one irreversible outcome. Taboo and immoral action of the time period haunt both characters in letting them desire what they truly want. Guilt and family pressure also present hurdles to the protagonist to show the similar issues for entirely different characters in both time periods, settings, and novels.

Plot.

In Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Shakespeare Hamlet both dive into the realm of family conflict for a overall goal. In Hamlet such conflict arises from the murder of his father by his uncle, while Austen creates conflict through family and marriage life in the time period. Both main Characters shape the plot by exploiting irregular ideas and rebelling social norms that lead to a substantial downfall. Hamlet seems much more fantastical compared to the realistic conflict in Pride and Prejudice highlighting the difference in the writing and the plot. Both writers allow the story to progress smoothly through their writing and plot to achieve the overall goal of the characters, who at once their feat complete, proceed to end in downfall.

To his Coy Mistress Vs. As I Walked Out One Evening.

    Time and love are two realities that conflict and coincide in Andrew Marvell's To his Coy Mistress and W. H. Auden's As I Walked Out One Evening. It proves notable and ironic between the two poems that time can be used to manipulate love in many ways; In the case of Marvell it is as a "Carpe Diem" attitude of seize the day. In this poem the idea of love in the moment, as well as physical love, seem rushed and questionable. As I Walked Out One Evening showcases the importance of love in time and highlights how love in time is eternal. This outlook expresses a more legitimate tone and authenticity towards the love Auden is talking about. Both poems essentially point to the differences time and love can play on each other, and how one may feel about love in relation to time; thus subsequently leading to the different tone, and authenticity one may draw from each poem.

Ode on a Grecian Urn & As I Walked Out One Evening

Both of these poems highlight the relevance of love in time. Love in time is represented differently in each of the poems to distinguish sincerity and attitude to love. Ode points to how love becomes frozen in time to make love everlasting and important. Love is treated as a action of worship and appreciation. This contrasts much to As I Walked Out One Evening's prevalence on the importance of love in the moment and seemingly rushing pace. It seems the attitude toward love is less sincere and more a desire for affection in the moment.

Oztmandias vs. Ponder...

    The key similarity presented between the two poems is clearly time. The differences presented by the authors reflect and focus on the  appreciation for antiquity, as well as the despair for the 'decay' aspect  that arises through time for Ozymandias, where as Ponder, darling these busted statues showcases time as a privilege that is beautiful to experience and is best to be utilized in a 'Carpe Diem' attitude. Both author's reveal the same underlying message that time is something to be appreciated, and utilized.
