What is comparing on a shared axis?Show answer
A comparison needs an axis: a shared concern, technique or question on which the two texts can be measured. Without an axis, the comparison drifts into a list of unrelated observations. With one, every point sharpens, because each text's choice is read against the other's on the same ground. The strongest comparisons find an axis specific enough to produce genuine difference, then read that difference for what it reveals about each text's deeper commitments.
