- Abstract
John Keats, a genius poet, is like a sparkling morning dew that disappears swiftly when the rising sun begins to give warmth on earth. His poems attract people not only because of its aesthetic beauty but also because of the profound thinking on life and death they reflect. Keats’s poems present his complex emotion of life and death. When he is tired of the reality, he expresses his negative attitudes towards life in his poems; when he is in positive attitudes, his poems praise the truth and the beauty in life. This thesis mainly focuses on the two worlds in his To Autumn from two aspects for the interpretation of the view towards life and death. Keats’s poetry illustrates negative and positive attitudes towards life and death and To Autumn not only conveys his treasure of life but also express his reconciliation to and tolerance for death.
