Pastoral put the "complex into the simple"- the double plot shows the writers to explore controversial topics without repurcussions

Williams
Pastoral is when the high urban area removes us from the peaceful life we once had in the countryside. This foundation is "myth functioning as memory". society falsely considers its present as the decline of the past.

It is an urban product and derives as an opposition to the two modes of living; country and city. this recreation of nature is in itself artificial.

the Pastoral mode especially in the late 18th C, was largely interpretable. it should not place emphasis on societal issues but should focus on personal growth and regeneration.
