Writing Style
John Keats was a romanticist poet who wrote odes. An ode is a type of lyrical stanza. English odes are lyrical stanzas in phrase of, or dedicated to someone or something that captures the poets interest or serves as an inspiration. The lyrics can be on various themes.
The odes are Keats’s most distinctive poetic achievement. They are essentially lyrical meditations on some object or quality that prompts the poet to confront the conflicting impulses of his inner being and to reflect upon his own longings and their relations to the wider world around him.
Keats showed typical aspects of a romantic poet in his work. He only wrote for 5 years, but in those 5 years he became one of the world's greatest writers. Keats' incorporated nature into his poems. He does not generally write about nature, but he uses it as a device to make his poetry romantic and gentle. Nature v. Culture is the number one rule of Romanticism. Despite his depression, Keats wrote endlessly on love and beauty. These two themes overwhelm his work. They are mixed with his feelings of depression, but they have become what Keats is most remembered for. The poets of Romantic Movement gave priority to the topics of lower class. Keats was very poor. Death, sorrow, love, and nature are signature traits of the Romantics. Appeciaton for earlier writers, mythology, and Latin are common themes in Romanticsim. Keats followed all of these "rules".
