Write an essay in which you answer the question. Remember that “Romantic” is defined as being in touch with one’s inner feelings and emotions. Does Don Juan seem to be this kind of person? Does he seem to care more about external matters? Does he pay attention to emotion? Use specific examples from the work to explain your thoughts. Part B: Essay, Option 2 The speakers (personas) in “When I Have Fears that I May Cease to Be” and “Ode to a Nightingale” seem to struggle with their own mortality—that they will die someday. John Keats wrote both of these poems, and he also wrote “Ode on a Grecian Urn” around the same time (1819—two years before his death). Do you believe that “Ode on a Grecian Urn” also addresses the themes of mortality and death? If “Ode on a Grecian Urn” is another poem that deals with mortality, discuss the way the poem brings out the themes of life and death. Compare it to the other two works. Use specific examples from the three poems to explain your thoughts. If “Ode on a Grecian Urn” is part of a different genre, explain why this is so. How it is different? What themes does it address, and how do these ideas differ from the ones in the other two poems? Use specific examples from the three poems to explain your thoughts. Part B will be graded according to the following rubrics.
