Escape in Ode to a Nightingale and La Belle Dans sans MerciThe two poems, Ode to a Nightingale and La Belle Dans sans Merci, clearly describe the treatment of Keats of the idea of ​​escape. Both poems construct vivid illusions but insist on their desolate failure. In Ode to a Nightingale, it is interesting to note that Keats chooses to use the nightingale as the main vehicle for his idea of ​​escape. It is through the comparisons with the life of the nightingale that all other forms of escape become apparent in this work. In the opening lines of the first stanza, we are introduced to the escape that alcohol and drugs can cause. But I think what we are witnessing here is the fantasy of escape rather than the escape itself. “Feels like I drank hemlock,” Or flushed a boring opiate down the drain. because the idea of ​​escape is the nightingale. The nightingale has no experience of “human life” and is all the better off as the commonly accepted idea that one must have experienced sadness to appreciate what happiness really is falls apart. . the edge of the path, although very little is known about a bird's perception. Hence Keats's explanation of his envy: "It is not from envy of your happiness, but from being too happy in your happiness, -"...happy.." implies a certain contentment that fate has given, while the nightingale seems to have something unique in his life because he is enveloped in happiness We feel that there is something so simplistic in all this, I think this is confirmed by. the following quote: "Sing summer with full-throated ease." I think "ease" is the key word here It identifies with the total freedom of the middle of the paper, but the mouth is open, because. he is shocked by the situation which is loveless. It is also interesting that Keats made it a battlefield scene and the knight lost a lot I think it is interesting how the last stanza responds. to the question in the first stanza, and yet she is almost the same in her use of words Here I think Keats is showing that nothing has changed. The poem is static, and we end as we begin. So the escape may not have been worth much. Works CitedKeats, John. “Ode to a Nightingale.” Norton Anthology's World Masterpieces: The Western Tradition.
