Analysis Of John KeatsTo Autumn

Keats’ “La Belle Dame sans Merci: A Ballad” features various archetypes. Frye proposed the existence of four types of plots, or “mythoi,” which make the four major genres. Each is associated with one of the four seasons: spring conveys comedy, summer is romance, fall shows tragedy, and winter yields satire (Murfin and Ray 28). “La Belle Dame sans Merci: A Ballad” is about a knight who meets an untimely demise due to his affiliation with a supernatural woman. The outlook of this poem is bleak because the knight perishes; therefore, this poem is a tragedy. Lines 3-4 show the reader that the season in which the incident occurs is fall: “The sedge has wither’d from the lake, / And no birds sing” (Keats 845). Keats further engrains the season of fall in the reader’s mind in lines 7-8: “The squirrel’s granary is full, / And the harvest’s done” (845). Therefore, Keats portrays the season as being fall within the first two stanzas, which, according to Frye’s ideas about the four basic types of plot, signifies the poem as being a tragedy. “La Belle Dame sans Merci: A Ballad” is indeed a tragedy because the knight, in the end, loses his

This is the time of year where the leaves fall swiftly from the trees dancing in the air before they hit the ground. In Langston Hughes Early Autumn he recites the story of two former lovers who stumbled upon each other while walking on Washington square in New York City. Mary approaches Bill with a pleasant hello shocked to have even seen him. Bill instantly does not recognize her being that she has aged so much over the years. Early Autumn represents a time period of change and how all things become decrepit at some point in

In "'To Autumn' and the Curing Space" by Alan Bewell, delivers some arguments regarding New Historical views of Keat’s poem “To Autumn.” This poem is written as a life and rebirth of what is in front of the person and what is present in the reality of the real world to his readers. I think this New Historical reading of the poem is reinforced through this traditional reading of Keats's poetry. The poem has five different points (themes) which are presented with Bewell.

John Keats is a romantic poet and he belongs to the Romantic Period. He was born in London and was educated at a private school at Enfield, and at the age of fifteen he was apprenticed to a surgeon. He lost interest in surgery, and the career of a poet became a bright possibility when he made the acquaintance of Leigh Hunt, the famous Radical journalist and poet. When Keats was about seventeen years old he became acquainted with Spencer, and this proved to be the turning point in his life. The mannerism of Elizabethan immediately captivated him and he began to imitate him. Keats health was already failing but the amount of poetry he wrote is marvellous, both in magnitude and in quality.

However, there was still certain exceptional poets during this period who wrote lyrics such as Thomas Gray and William Cowper. In the poem ‘Ode On The Spring’ by Thomas Gray, the reader comes across an elaborated view of spring and its beauties. It is shown that for Gray, spring brings fields imbued with flowers and greenery: ‘long-expecting flowers’. According to Gray, spring brings along magnificent sunrises and also a beautiful and pleasing atmosphere. This can be seen through words such as ‘rosy-bosomed hours’ and ‘thro’ the clear blue sky’. The words ‘purple year’ are a reference to Virgil’s ‘ver purpureum’ and Alexander Pope’s ‘lavish nature paints the purple year’ and through these words, Thomas Gray wants to show the reader the power and brightness of spring through the poetic conventions and style which are celebrating nature’s beauty. The persona continues to emphasize the shade and calmness that spring brings along with it: ‘a broader browner shade’. It seems that spring is not appreciated by an excessive amount of people: ‘how little are the Proud’. Moreover, Gray expresses that too few are able to understand the beauty of spring: ‘How indigent the Great’. The insects are described as ‘eager’ and also seem to be waiting to pollinate: ‘taste the honied

Alexander Pushkin and Robert Frost both have written poems about autumn. There is a correlation between these two poems since they share many romantic features. “Autumn” and “After Apple-Picking” are both alike and different in many ways.

In the attempt of bringing old ways to gain new knowledge John Keats wrote the Romanticism style poem, “Ode to Autumn”. With the many literary devices available to the Romantics, poetry was the most favored (Keats,

Thematically, the poem explores the idealistic nature of childhood, and the importance of waking up to reality as one grows older. The beginning of the poem is filled with a vivid passionate recollection of the seasonal picking of

The poem "To Autumn" is an amazing piece of work written by one of the greatest poets of all time, John Keats.  From a simple reading, the poem paints a beautiful picture of the coming season.  However, one may wonder if there is more to the poem than what the words simply say.  After it is studied and topics such as sound, diction and imagery are analyzed, one can clearly say that Keats used those techniques to illustrate the progression of death, and to show that there is still life at the end of life.

Red and green and gold and orange dance across crisp autumn sky, moved along on the currents of a steady breeze. Sunlight filters through leaves that still clinging to the towering Oak and Maple trees along the dirt trail. Little feet pound the ground, compressing the leaves and sending up puffs of dirt, as a rabbit hops along through the underbrush. He startles a flock of birds which take flight and voice their anger at being disturbed with a chorus of shrill cawing. The little rabbit continues his journey occasionally pausing to rummage around in the leaves, but finds nothing to his liking and proceeds with his hopping. A sudden noise makes him freeze in place. Cautiously, he settles onto his hind legs and his pink nose along with his ears twitch in search of a clue to what might have caused the disturbance. Having decided that the danger has passed the rabbit hops up onto a log which spans a babbling brook. He rests there a moment and allows for the coolness rising from the water to wash over him. After crossing the stream he stops at the water’s edge lapping at the water with his tiny tongue. Once he has had his fill, he returns to his burrow nestled among a copse sapling maples, deep within the forest. The seasons of Autumn and Winter are paid tribute in these three sonnets: To Autumn, It Sifts From Leaden Sieves, and Fall Song written by John Keats, Emily Dickinson and Mary Oliver respectively. Each makes use of eloquent imagery in order to compose a specific tone;

Keats was a nature worshiper. His love for nature was more tenderer than that of many other romantic poets. He stands supreme as a nature poet. He was highly inspired by the romantic poet “Shakespeare”. Keats portrayed the characteristic world with accuracy and consideration. He was the poet of sense and their delight. His odes are most heart touching. He used nature as a gadget. Nature vs Culture is the number one rule of romanticism. In “ode To Autumn” john Keats felt like autumn is his season.In this lyric Keats depicts the season of Autumn. It is the season of the fog and in this season products of the soil are matured on the joint effort with the Sun.There are fruit trees close to the greenery development cabin. The season fills the fruits with juice.He describes autumn as: "Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness! / Close bosom friend of the maturing

Autumn is represented as a playful and bountiful figure. Set amongst a rich tapestry of autumnal plants, fruits and flowers, her long auburn hair holds a wreath of chrysanthemums. She gathers grapes from an abundant vine; a metaphor for the bountiful supplies that Autumn offers.

In this poem the writer has a love of autumn and we see this at the

Poetry is a literary work which is portrayed by the expression of feelings and ideas by poets using a distinctive style or rhythmic pattern. It is used to convey many poets ideas and emotions in a way that is vivid and imaginative. Poetry allows the reader to imagine what the poet is describing through sensual descriptions and other literary devices that invite them to picture life in the eyes of the poet. In the poems “Ode to a Nightingale” and “Ode on Melancholy” by John Keats, both poems stimulate an emotional response through their meaning. They describe that while in most cases joy can be experienced through feeling pain, fulfillment of happiness comes from living and thinking passionately. In order to experience joy and the wonderful things in life, you have to experience pain first and also surround yourself with the beauty of the gift of life and its many offerings. John Keats conveys this in his poetry by using literary devices such as imagery, personification, alliteration, and various sensual descriptions to describe the feeling of joy and happiness that can be experienced in many different ways throughout both poems.
