Therefore, this article will try to explore the two writers' representative works"The Old Charcoal Seller"and"Richard Cory"in terms of their similarities and differences as well as the significances of their works from the perspective of social realities and cultural differences.By doing this, it is not difficult to find that the characters they described lived with different cultural background and life experiences, but they were made to transcend the cultural and age gap in that they reflect the nature of real life and emotions, thus striking a chord in readers' heart.
