In //The Reamins of the Day; Kazuo Ishiguro's Sonnet on His Blindness// (1995-1996), Rocio G. Davis asserts that Milton's sonnet XIX is thematically equivalent as the novel written by Ishiguro. Davis analyzes two different pieces and explains the parallels in between both. HE illustrates the commmon themse of "direction of one life", "humble acceptance", "the similar pattern f "denial, revelation, and concealment", and he juxtaposes the theme of blindness from both works by explaining how both authors use "understatement and simplicity" constantly through their works of writing. Although Milton explains how physical blindness impairs him from achieving true happiness, Ishiguro writes and explains how emotional blindness is what truly impairs Stevens from achieving his true form of hapiness as well. Davis writes this essay and analysis to expand the knowledge and character analysis of Stevens from the novel //The Remains of The Day by comparing similarities between the sonnet by Milton and the novel by Ishiguro. Because the essay is written with passionate vocabulary that is imperative at times and with his intense knowledge of Stevens initially, It is apparent that the essay is directed towards a crowd which is more familiar with the sonnet as well as the novel to truly understand the character analysis and similarities.//
