From the stories and poems we have read over the course, though
they have been dark, typically most of them seem to have a brighter outlook.
Either grasping onto the idea of hope or bringing out reforms and awareness, yet
in Byron's poem I didn't really get that vibe. More than anything it is definitely
bleak and I found it very interesting that Lord Byron's poem,
"Darkness" was partly influenced by the weather and the mass hysteria
that came out of it. In the poem, Byron points out that much of what we take
for granted (sunlight, produce) can easily disappear and there really is
nothing in human nature that can guarantee it. He's reminding people that
though a lot of things go right, just as many things can go wrong and there is
no true security in life.
