Read the lines from Shakespeare's "Sonnet 131."
the centralit
How do the central ideas in the sonnets relate to each
other?
Thou art as tyrannous, so as thou art,
As those whose beauties proudly make them cruel;
For well thou know'st to my dear doting heart
Thou art the fairest and most precious jewel.
Now read the lines from Shakespeare's "Sonnet 130."
O They are similar because both are about the angelic
beauty of a woman.
O They are similar because both are about love for a
woman others may find lacking.
They are different because the first is about pride,
while the second is about love.
O They are different because the first is about true
love, while the second is about betrayal.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.

explanation:

wordsworth tends to see nature as 'out there'; a presence which surrounds humans, and contributes to human life, but is different from humans. if you look at a typical wordsworth poem (there was a boy, ye knew him well ye rocks) - wordsworth talks about nature as something that needs to be learned about and understood, nature is different from us.  

if you look at a byron poem (the isles of greece is a good one) - byron looks at nature mainly for what it already means to man. wordsworth will look at a landscape and see the mountains, trees, valleys, and rivers as almost spiritual presences - wordsworth wants to get to know nature.  

byron will look at the same landscape and he will want to know who lives there, what are the villages? are there any farms or mines, is there some history?  

wordsworth looks at nature for what it is; byron is forever asking what it means.  

wordsworth thinks that humans are part of nature; byron thinks that nature is part of being human
