	How would you establish a comparison between the Enlightenment thinkers and the Romantic ones?
		
	
	While Enlightenment thinkers in Britain, in France and throughout Europe questioned traditional authority, the Romantics embraced the notion that humanity could be improved through rational change. 
	
	While the Enlightenment was a cultural movement of intellectuals, the Romanticism was a confluence of ideas and activities that took place throughout the sixteenth century which might be associated with the Age of Reason.
	
	While The enlightenment was a religious movement of the XVIII century, The Romanticism was marked by a rejection to traditional political ideas in the XVII century.
	
	While Enlightenment thinkers valued logic, reason, and rationality, Romantics valued emotion, passion, and individuality.
	
	While The Age of Enlightenment refers to the 18th century in European philosophy, and is often thought of as part of a larger period which includes the Age of Reason, The Romantic movement was characterized by a focus on religious belief and piety and was influenced by the natural philosophy of Sir Isaac Newton.

	What does William Blake discuss in the poem London?
 London BY WILLIAM BLAKE
" I wander thro' each charter'd street, Near where the charter'd Thames does flow. And mark in every face I meet Marks of weakness, marks of woe. In every cry of every Man, In every Infants cry of fear, In every voice: in every ban, The mind-forg'd manacles I hear How the Chimney-sweepers cry Every blackning Church appalls, And the hapless Soldiers sigh Runs in blood down Palace walls But most thro' midnight streets I hear How the youthful Harlots curse Blasts the new-born Infants tear And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse" 
		
	
	Blake focuses on the social and political background of London and highlights differences between the wealth of the ruling classes and the poverty of the common man.
	
	Blake discusses the impressions the speaker, who wanders through the streets of London, makes and comments on his observations. He sees happiness in the faces of the people he meets and hears positive feelings in their voices.
	
	Blake's poem on England's capital city, written in 1792, is a picturesque portray of life in a big city in the eighteenth century. The poem is a concise religious analysis, delivered with passionate love, revealing the simple connections of life in a big city.
	
	Blake wonders if the ones whom the speaker meets in the streets of London are so anxious about the violence in the city that they cannot enjoy the good aspects of the wonderful town they live in.
	
	Blake questions if it is possible to live in this peaceful urban space and how oppressed the speaker feels upon entering the city since the poem¿s title denotes a specific geographic space.

	In the novel Pride and Prejudice, why was Mrs. Bennet so anxious to find proper husbands for her daughters?
		
	
	She did not want to be known in the area in which she lived as a mother of five unmarried young women.
	
	Mrs. Bennet typifies that kind of woman who wants to be in high society and since her husband could not provide a solution for her wishes, she wanted her girls to marry wealthy men so that she herself might have the opportunity of going to expensive parties. 
	
	Since the Bennet girls¿ financial situation would be particularly desperate after Mr Bennet¿s death in case they failed to find husbands, Mrs Bennet¿s obsessive husband-hunting goes too far. She even asked Mr. Bingley to marry Elizabeth.
	
	Because, among English families wealth automatically passed down the male line since women were regarded as incapable of dealing with money matters, they could not inherit. So, one day Mr. Benne t would certainly die and Mr Collins would receive Mr. Bennet¿s inheritance. So Mrs. Bennet was eager to protect her five girls by finding husbands who would support them for the rest of their lives.
	
	Since most women had little choice but to marry in order to be respected by society, Mrs. Bennet was no exception to the rule. Probably most mothers were as concerned as Mrs. Bennet was. If they did not marry, Mrs Bennet herself would need to find a job as a housekeeper so as to support the girls.
