In the poem “Death Over Water” by Elizabeth Rhett Woods, juxtaposition between the beauty and grace of ice dancing and the savage fighting between two enemy birds is shown as an eagle is compared to “the male of a pair of ice dancers” (line 9), a gull to the female ice dancer and “a clamour of crows” (line 1) to the crowd watching them. The eagle is the dominant force in the fight that is in control of the movements of the birds maintaining “every advantage of size and speed” (line 17), comparable to the lead dancer of a pair. In ice dancing, the male is often guiding the female through the moves remaining “above and behind” (line 8) the female dancer at all times.

In "Fragility," the first-person perspective offers an intensely personal exploration of the husband's internal conflict, making the struggle theme intimate and real. This immersion within a single character's mind, in turn, prompts readers to empathize deeply with the character's emotional state, intensifying the story's despairing mood. On the other hand, the third-person perspective in "The Lamp at Noon" provides a multi-dimensional depiction of each character's dilemma. It offers insights into the individual struggles of Paul and Ellen and their shared one. Rather than developing empathy for a single character, this narrative stance paints a more complex and comprehensive picture of Adversity and Challenges, evoking isolation and desperation.

Fissured perception in Beachy Head Beachy Head, Charlotte Smith’s swan song of a poem, was published in 1807. Differing opinions on the poem’s seeming incompleteness betray an underlying fissured element- an element at once tangible and intangible, parting its way through the substratum of 19th century notions on gender, poetics, aesthetics, history and science. Smith intended Beachy Head to be the “local subject” (Fry 31) on which she would rivet her Fancy and her theme. However, like an unrestrained coil spiraling outwards, the poem is anything but fixed. There is liquidity, apropos to the setting by the Sussex shoreline, which creates a flux between temporal, spatial and factual elements, thereby strengthening the schismatic politics
