Luke's naivete highlighted by the contrast in setting - his urban fall into sin is located away from the idealised natural scene of his childhood

At the end of the poem, nature is triumphant - it endures ('yet the oak is left') whereas the family perish - nature as permanent and eternal . Human life upon nature is temporary
-
Enduring quality of nature ('in truth an utter solitude') - shift in timeframes from present (of speaker's experience of nature as triumphant and unspoilt) to the past of the family's experience
Line 34,35 family's story 'homely and rude' - eg not sophisticated - contrast elevated language with which he describes nature ('the open sunshine of God's love' line 229)
Wordsworth personsifies aspects of nature to idealize nature ('and this huge castle, standing here sublime')
