 Forms of Poetry Poetry has two approaches. *Subjective approach *Objective approach Subjective poetry (Sonnet,Ode,Lyric,Elegy,Satire) A subjective point of view is something based on one's opinion,believes, perspectives discoveries, desires and feelings . It has no concern with right or wrong other than the person's opinion of what is right and wrong. These are person's internal feelings . He shares inner feelings and highlights internal approach in his poetic composition. Third person (I,my,myself) point of view can also be subjective. It is known as Limited omniscience in which a writer knows every detail about a character and sees the whole story through that character's eyes. On a Grecian Urn by Keats,   Sonnet Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day  by Shakespeare are the example of subjective poetry. Subjective poetry is based on OPINION.  Objective poetry (Ballad,Epic,Mock Epic,Idyll,Dramatic Monologue) In objective poetry, the poet acts as a detache...

  New Year Resolution By Elizabeth Sewell Critical analysis of the poem  Main idea How will Elizabeth Sewell welcome the new year? Literary qualities of the poem Moral of the poem As the title of the poem makes it absolutely clear, it is related to the New Year and the stocktaking that human beings have at the expiry of the last year and the advent of a new year. We mean to say that at the arrival of a new year, all the human beings make a neutral assessment of their achievements and failures during the bygone year. Thus they chalk out for themselves a new and better line of action to be followed in the coming year. While so doing their intention is to avoid the follies which they had committed in the days of past. In the poem under discussion, the poetess is also facing the same dilemma of making new and better resolution regarding her future in the light of her past experiences. She doesn't want to welcome the new year in a traditional manner. As the poem reveals, her life ...

 Leisure by William Davies Critical analysis of the poem Effects of modernization Why is the poet not happy with a stressed life? What does the poet want human beings to do to make their life happy and meaning full?  Too much mechanisation of life has excercised very deep and negative impacts on human mind and attitude to the things around. The greatest impact is that man has got awfully immersed in the mundane activities. These wordly activites have ultimately separated him from all those persuits that can contribute a lot to the solace of mind and soul. In an indirect way, the poet suggests in this poem that man has got separated from the flow of spirituality due to his attraction towards purely materialistic fascinations. This poem is vividly soaked in what can be termed as Wordsworthian ting. We mean to say that in this poem, William Davies also refer to the natural phenomena in the same manner as William Wordsworth repeatedly does in his poems. The second thing is that Da...

  Willaim Blake's philosophy (His time and reaction ) Willaim Blake is a born Mystical and visionary writer of the 18th century. He is  romantic among the classicals, visionary among the rationals and imaginary among the intellectuals.  In fact, he comes in the category of  Preromantics , it means the Romantic before the Romanticism. He is born when the industrial revolution is about to come and when he starts observing the world with his innocent eyes. He sees nothing but hypocrisy, mechanism, materialism, hatred, corruption, etc in his surroundings. But, when he is 4 hears old, he sees God for the first time in his vision.

From which he is fed up and win...

John Keats As an Escapist & Thinker A  tremendous number of critics belonging to past and present era regard him as an escapist. But for us it would be but pertinent to have considerate analysis of his writings in context with his particular period. Keats was born and grown up amidst exciting turmoil of French revolution. It would not be wrong if we say that after Renaissance, it was the second major influence on the general public of the whole Europe. The literary figures too could not make them alien to this revolution and the literature of that period brought a radical change. Wordsworth, Coleridge, Scott, Byron, Shelly etc._ all got new dimensions in writing but we find Keats an Escapist who was not stirred by the contemporary trends. In Keats' early poetry, inclination towards escapism is prominent. This earlier phase of his poetry is marked with immature youthful imagination. But Keats was undergoing a gradual development of his genius. Firstly, he pursued Beauty everywhe...

  KEATS: A ROMANTIC POET .   In English literature, Romantic Movement started towards the end of 18th century and continued till 30's of the 19th century. Wordsworth, Coleridge, Scott, Byron, and Shelly are principal influential figures by this movement. But when we take Keats as a romantic poet, others lay behind him in the field of Romanticism. Other poets had some social or national aims to propound in their writings but Romantic poetry requires complete expression of the individual. So, Keats' poetry is the most romantic of all the poets as it is without any moral or message of social or political significance. To give Keats the title of a Romantic poet, there are several points to elaborate our discussion.       ESCAPISM is a distinguished feature of romantic poetry. Every romantic poet cherishes to abode in the world of romance and beauty, a world where there are no troubles of earthly life. Unlike Classical poetry, romantic poetry exhibits excess of imagi...
