Thomas Hardy's poems reflect:

C) the grim outlook of the late Victorian era

Hardy's most prevalent theme is the struggle of humanity against fate. He wrote about the social constraints around which the lives of the people revolved. He criticizes the themes and beliefs, which caused unhappiness and sufferings in the lives of the people. The themes included the subject of marriage, education, and religion.

in the sonnet 116 written by william shakespeare we can analyze the symbolism and say that he reuses the idea of love like a guiding star for the sailor.

reading through the poem we find out that in the line 7 there is a metaphor for the lover that is heading through the life events by love itself .

third person

explanation:

note the usage of names and pronouns, "james" & "the old man". this alone can confirm it as third person, as first person uses "i" and the like, while second person uses "you" and the like.
