Henrik Ibsen began experimenting in the mid-nineteenth century. I am going to argue that Royall Tyler is exploring his own identity and the American identities found within women, nationalism within the new country, and loyalty to one side within The Contrast.

In contrast, introverts are often seen as shy individuals that
parallels and contrasts. "Light breaks into the darkness, land separates water, and “the greater light” of the sun opposes “the lesser light” of the moon."[7] A more complex occurrence of parallel and contrast takes place with the account of man’s creation in the second story. "The LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man."

However, a big relationship that shows repetitively throughout the book is the relationship between the opulence and grandeur of the Fair and the poverty and the degradation that surrounded it.

examples of how their contrasts in their appearance, personality, and how they handle conflict really makes them the perfect team. The first way Dan and Ann contrast is in their appearance. Old Dan is described to be not tall but very bulky and strong, while Little Ann is very small and scrawny. Billy even says: “She is the runt of the litter, no doubt it.”(668 Rawls), but he also thinks that she inconceivably smart. Dan and Ann’s personalities are both similar yet they contrast.
