Question

What are the similarities and differences between William Wordsworth's poem I wandered lonely as a cloud and Katherine Mansfield's poem Loneliness? (At least three bullets for each of the similarities and differences of the poems.)

Answer 1

Both William Wordsworth's poem I wandered lonely as a cloud and Katherine Mansfield's poem Loneliness explore the theme of loneliness. In Wordsworth's poem, the speaker is alone in nature, and the poem is filled with imagery of the beauty of nature. In Mansfield's poem, the speaker is alone in a city, and the poem is filled with imagery of the loneliness of the city. Both poems explore the idea of being alone, but the settings and imagery used to convey this idea are different.
