The antics of the two ostlers are typical of a farce

Explanation:

The farce, the main form of medieval comic theater, dawned in the twilight of the French Middle Ages around the 16th century. At first it consisted of a brief comic play, presented at intervals between the mysteries (long play on the history of religion), later on to develop autonomous existence. For its comic origin, the farce tends towards the comedy of customs and characters.

The farce differs from comedy itself for not observing rules of likelihood and differs from satire or parody for not trying to question values. It is also possible to define the farce as the opposite of the fable, since the farce, unlike the fable, presents what can be called a false moral and is characterized by the presence of exaggerating, unrealistic expressions and situations.

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
