Reading Response to Ode to a Nightingale

In Ode to a Nightingale Keats introduces the reader to his discontent with the subjugate of feeling he is experiencing. In the graduation pull Keats says how his, heart aches which the reader would examine as pain however the assist half of the original airwave he describes, A lingering dullness. This certifys me that Keats is disquieting with the benumbness he experiences. In the south melodic line Keats says, as though of hemlock I had drunk. Norton foot notes tell us that hemlock is a acerbate that acts as a tranquilizer in mild doses.Sedatives cause a euphoria that could be described as inactive numbness. In the offset line Keats repeats the A sound with aches, and a drowsy numbness pains. In the plump for line Keats repeats the H sound with poison hemlock I had drunk. This alliteration and vowel rhyme creates a sort of euphoric musical quality, further emphasizing Keats chemically induce omit of feeling described. Continuing with the intellect of drug ind uced emptiness in the third line Keats speaks of some thick opiate to the drains.Also continuing the use of assonance Keats repeats the D sound with emptied some dull opiate to the drains. once much the feeling produced by this repetition mimics the numb sway of a high. However this line is still more obvious than the first two because Keats mentions opiate which is a much more well-known drug that produces a numb sort of euphoria. The fourth line of the numbers introduces a new dynamic to the first stanza. Keats says, Lethe-wards had sunk Norton tells us that Lethe is a unreal river in Hades that causes forgetfulness.With this line Keats design in the first stanza can be expanded from a euphoric obviate of feeling to one that causes him to forget. Because of this and Keats later references to poisoning (see stanza 2) as well as references to devastation (see stanza 3) the reader could infer that Keats desired the forgetful, euphoric, lack of feeling. Though Keats opens the poem in line one with My heart aches one could flip just how much his heart really aches.
