Why are there so few guests at the funeral?

it is a religious funeral.
the funeral is held on a weekday.
the residents are not allowed to come.
monsieur mersault has no friends or family.

There are few guests at the funeral because, Its a religious funeral and not everyone practices the same religion, The funeral was held on a weekday and many people work late and don't have the time to go, Residents aren't allowed to come which is very important because the person who passed might have had resident friends or family, and Monsieur had no friends nor family members so no one came. This all concludes to the funeral being empty/ with every few people.

hey wanna : ) ; )

wordsworth tends to see nature as 'out there'; a presence which surrounds humans, and contributes to human life, but is different from humans. if you look at a typical wordsworth poem (there was a boy, ye knew him well ye rocks) - wordsworth talks about nature as something that needs to be learned about and understood, nature is different from us.  

if you look at a byron poem (the isles of greece is a good one) - byron looks at nature mainly for what it already means to man. wordsworth will look at a landscape and see the mountains, trees, valleys, and rivers as almost spiritual presences - wordsworth wants to get to know nature.  

byron will look at the same landscape and he will want to know who lives there, what are the villages? are there any farms or mines, is there some history?  

wordsworth looks at nature for what it is; byron is forever asking what it means.  

wordsworth thinks that humans are part of nature; byron thinks that nature is part of being human
