Compare and contrast the mental illness of the narrator and her uncle in “a servant to servants.” how does mental illness relate to the themes of the poem? cite evidence from the poem to support your analysis of at least two hundred words.

The other answer states there is no uncle in Servants to Servants. However they are wrong.

I have my fancies: it runs in the family.  My father’s brother wasn’t right. They kept him  Locked up for years back there at the old farm.

Fathers brother would be her uncle.

the answer can be "credo" it means to believe = the word credo means "an official statement of beliefs"

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
