How do the settings of "Because I Could Not Stop for Death" and "Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church" differ? Traveling in the former represents a journey toward death, while the setting of the latter shows that the speaker is well grounded. The landscape in the former represents a worshipful attitude toward nature, while the natural setting is only symbolic in the latter. The setting of the former is separate from the poem’s themes, while the setting of the latter is merely a backdrop for a larger theme. The countryside setting in the former creates a dreamlike mood, while the setting of the latter creates a mood of artificial happiness.

Answer:

  • Traveling in the former represents a journey toward death, while the setting of the latter shows that the speaker is well grounded.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the poem "Since I Could Not Stop for Death" passing has been embodied with whom the writer takes a ride towards her grave. In the ballad "Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church" the writer exhorted its perusers that they can cooperative with God without setting off to the Church. He says that God is present in nature and in each of his creations. Along these lines to meet him one need not visit the Church as it were.
