“The Highwayman” and “Typhoid Fever” Comparison

These stories are very alike. The first comparison, though it’s broad, is that the poem being read in “Typhoid Fever,” is the poem “The Highway Man.” Frankie never was able to hear the end of the story because Patricia died, and in this poem the loved lady also died. Another comparison is that the men of each story are both in trouble for being with the female. Something different was the reconnection between the loves in “The Highway Man.” The little kids in “Typhoid Fever” didn’t get to see each other again. That’s how these two stories are different and alike.
