The three characters in “The Convergence of the Twain” are: The Titanic, The Iceberg, and A Higher Power. This adds to the themes of human vanity and a higher powers exisistence.

The trio of the ship, iceberg, and God show how the crashing of the Titanic into the iceberg was an event caused by fate. Though it’s sinking seemed improbable to the passengers, in Hardy’s opinion it was an inevitable event.]]> 2018-11-30 16:39:56 UTC https://padlet.com/rylier11/hardyshardships/wish/309858476 https://padlet.com/rylier11/hardyshardships/wish/309858503 1.

The sinking of the Titanic was a fated event meant to punish the vanity of humans in creating and believing in an "immortal ship", almost like an idol.]]> 2018-11-30 16:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/rylier11/hardyshardships/wish/309858503 https://padlet.com/rylier11/hardyshardships/wish/309858597 2018-11-30 16:40:09 UTC https://padlet.com/rylier11/hardyshardships/wish/309858597 https://padlet.com/rylier11/hardyshardships/wish/309858612 3.

I think there are 11 stanzas because in the final stanza, Hardy says “years” and “now” but the stanzas only go to 11 instead of 12 (like full yea did 12 months).

He uses the “marriage” of the iceberg of the ship as not a catastrophe, but a beautifully wrought event by Fate, or the Spinner, or whoever. He argues that there’s beauty in the natural progression of time, and that it’s not God, and certainly not ourselves, but the universe that dictates the results of our prideful Human endeavors. ]]> 2018-11-30 16:40:53 UTC https://padlet.com/rylier11/hardyshardships/wish/309859028 https://padlet.com/rylier11/hardyshardships/wish/309859030 There are 11 stanzas that represent at build up to 11 o clock when the titanic began to sink.
