"the poem is one of a class of similar forms" -so many poets use so many of the same image.

Today, we cannot use other's work without certain permission because every written work is preserved by the right. Than, every writing should be different and has its own unique characteristic. However, every book (in this case, writing) in the world shares some words or phrases. Like this, the literature seems to have some similarity relating its period-when it occurs. What I mean by mentioning "its period" is the characteristic of society. For example, when Korea was colonized, there appeared several poems and novels which have the purpose of independence. They claimed independence of Korea and strongly desired it.
Although "independece" can be treated as a subject by many author at anytime , what made it had become those days' significant and predominant topic?
In my opinion, it was that they sufferd same thing. When we see many literatures of that time, some of poets admire the 'sun'. and the sun usually translated 'meaning independent nation'. Even though we do not regard the 'admiring sun' as 'independense', what they have in common is 'it'. However, we do not say later one followed former one because each literature treated as itself and it has its own value. So, we just admit that. When considering 'Forems', I think it also can be understood in same way.
Human assert "we are all different." What I really recognize after being foreign country, people have different skin colors, hair colors. And not only the appearance, there is difference in way of thinking ans some kind of behavior. But, if we think about as a point of "gene" , are we really different? We are genetically almost same! there is much more similarity than differense. Therefore, I thought the similarity occurs similiarity in thinking. And some people reflect it in their work. As a result, each literaty works seems affect each other-or it might really make influence each other.
So, if there are some litertature share similarity even though they did not appear simultaneously, we might be albe to make sense of it.
