The contrast presented here is of the typical theme of Romantic literature, <u>the conflict and resolution between man and nature.</u>
Explanation:
The given lines are a Representative of a very Romantic concern, which is the <u>difference between things that seem important and things that are empirically important.</u>
What seems important is wealth which comes from man's artifice but if one understands nature's spontaneity, they will be able to find the purity of soul within them and only find in them to appreciate art.
<u>Art deriving from nature is also a parallel theme that runs her</u>e.
Polonius is using his daughter to spy her conversation with Hamlet. He teaches how to act naturally, how to walk and pretend that she is reading.
In that last phrase, he is saying that we humans often act in deceitful ways, for which we are to blame.
He admits that he is making a mistake, in teaching that kind of behaviour to his own daughter.
Answer:
the characters are just the people in the story. The setting is where it happens, so if it mainly happens in a school, that would be the setting. The problems could be like two of the characters hating each other or someone's mom sick in the hospital, stuff like that. problems like these usually get solved at the end of the story but they might not, like a cliffhanger.
Then "How are they like other stories you've read?" You can just take any other stories you know and look for things that are the same in both of them. Like if there's a character who's really shy in the story you read for class and the story you read on your own, then you would say " In this story, a character named Mia is really shy. In a story I read on my own, Social Caterpillar, Nicky is really shy and quiet."(Just a fake example) You would do the same thing for the setting and problems.
