Compare and contrast the three portrayals of London in Blake’s :: English Literature

Comp be and contrast the three portrayals of capital of the United Kingdom in BlakesLondon, Wordsworths Composed Upon Westminster Bridge andJohnsons Inglan Is A Bitch.==============================================================In London, Blake creates the depiction that London is a precise grim level. He describes it, as having mapped out streets, even the riverThames is not flowing along its immanent route, the whole baffle isunnatural, and false. All Blake can affect is misery everywhere. Thisis do very clear by the repetition of the word everyIn every cry of every man,In every infants cry of fear,In every voice, in every ban,The mind-forgd manacles I hear.He uses repetition to get the message across that he sees accredited miseryeverywhere he looks, and in everything he hears. It gets the messageinto your mind. Also, in every ban is a public declaration, sayingthat everything about the place is made so that people are miserable.Blake goes on to say how London is a very di rty place blackningchurch appals creates the image of dirt being everywhere, even onchurches, which are normally seen as places that are not left to getdirty.Clearly, Blake does not like London, and uses imaging to show this. With use of repetition, vivid images of the dirty, and miserable placehe sees are created.Wordsworth however, has a very different approach to London. He seesit as the finest place on Earth, and that never before has he seen aplace that genuinely is so beautiful as London. He says that if you dontsee London as being like this, then you have no soul, no feelings. There is a very positive approach to the numbers. The dish antenna of themorning and majesty used to build a picture of what he sees. Likea garment is a simile used to contain it sound alive.Here you see a arrest contrast to the personal manner Blake sees London. Blakes misery and dullness, now seen as happiness and beauty. Wordsworth describes the Thames as being very natural, as flowing atits o wn will. Blake describes it as chartered, and unnatural. Acomplete contrast. In Wordsworths poem, there is no dirt, just cleansmokeless air. The buildings are alive in Wordsworths poem, butnot in Blakes. It is as if the two poets, are writing about a whole different place, even though they are writing about the like place at around the same time, the 19th century.However, and important ingredient we can take into account, is the time ofday that the poems are describing. Wordsworths poem is written earlyin the morning, just as the sun is rising.
