The Eve of St. Agnes by John Keats Essay -- The Eve of St. Agnes John

Someone once said that professedly love is wholly an illusion and rat never be achieved. This is evidently shown through legion(predicate) elements of the poem by John Keats, The Eve of St. Agnes. Much of this poem is intimately the imagination and how it can blind people and make them oblivious to the real events that are occurring. We the readers can see this very easily through the enactment of one of the main characters Madeline. The second main character Porphyro tries to authenticate her hobby for a dream experience however ends up taking value of her while she thinks she is still dreaming. The poem does endorse how the power of Madelines tedious imagination can influence her and the others around her, but also that happenings right(prenominal) of the dream can cause the person in the dream to be taken advantage of with out the dreamers do itledge. The truth is that Porphyro knows exactly what he is doing and sort of of doing things in a honorable way, he d ecides to proceed in a dishonorable way and tot ally violates her visionary imagination.The wickedness that is being speak of in this poem is a nighttime of dreams and imagination. It is supposed to be a unfathomed night in which young women watch dreams of their one true love. Madeline takes this to a totally different level in that she totally succumbs to the mystical ability of the night and totally loses her mind. In that she doesnt even know if she is still dreaming or if she is awake. Some interpretations of the poem say that she is wake and know what she is doing. However, I believe the contrary that she doesnt know what she is doing. lead by the nosed with faery fancy. (70) Most of what she does is due to the mystical feeling the night causes. A mind can play may tricks and the mind can make ... ... to trick her into doing something on a night to which she seem to have no control over, on one of the most mystical night of them all. The only reason that I can think of that she goes remote with him at the end is not because she truly love him, but that she is starting to go out what she did. Now the only honorable thing to do is go away with him so that she doesnt dishonor anyone. This is kind of ironic because it was the dishonor of Porphyro, which caused all this, and yet she is doing the honorable thing. Works Cited PageKeats, John. The Eve of St. Agnes.
