• Artists create heroic scenes used to raise the quality of society. 
• midievalism revived to escape population growth and industrialism. 
• free from classic notions of art. Individualistic. Unique. 
• Romantics believed imagination held healing power. People could express their troubles and circumstances, ultimately diminishing them. ]]> 2018-04-16 17:29:37 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/urn/wish/252260932 esimmons10 https://padlet.com/meyaek/urn/wish/252262184 - John Keats was in love with a girl named Fanny.  They wrote intense and passionate love letters to each other but his were often laced with threats.
- The shape of a urn is typical curvy, similar to a vase.  Women are represented by curvy figures, especially in the 1800's; the curvier the woman, the better.
- Any time he refers to women in the poem, they are seen as very delicate and in pursuit of men.
- Keats once described women as "Children to whom I would rather give a sugar plum than my time."]]> 2018-04-16 17:32:15 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/urn/wish/252262184 courtney_tessmer https://padlet.com/meyaek/urn/wish/252575604 —the writer of the last two lines (poet to reader, urn to reader, poet to urn, poet to figures on urn)
—quotation marks around the lines? Did the urn speak some or even all of the words?
—the most appropriate perspective would be urn speaking this to its viewers and lyric speaker (talking back to speaker)
—this work of art has the power to transport into a fantasy that brings pleasure and releases all other cares (ability to transport us)]]> 2018-04-17 13:57:36 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/urn/wish/252575604 brendocheff98 https://padlet.com/meyaek/urn/wish/252652597 - it seems like each stanza is takling about a different urn.
- the beauty of ambiguity is ripe in this poem and that's why the ending is in a way unfulfilling to people
- The author doesn't take a side during the last 3 lines. This angers critics. Not all people can deal with truth and sometimes the truth hurts.
- Fantasy vs reality and which is better is mysterious. Keats leaves the answer ambiguitous for the audience. ]]> 2018-04-17 16:17:36 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/urn/wish/252652597 cbarjak00 https://padlet.com/meyaek/urn/wish/252661455 -Reference to Arcady (an ideal rustic paradise in ancient Greece, tradition of innocence)
-Priest/Altar/Heifer (Religion is tied in with nature, & nature with perfection)
-Sound mentioned in all 5 stanzas (Emphasizes the tone of the poem)
-Short sentences with exclamations (Captures readers' attention & adds to tone) ]]> 2018-04-17 16:34:11 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/urn/wish/252661455 skesler3 https://padlet.com/meyaek/urn/wish/252664342 -obsession over the perfection of the urn, subconscious mind feels personally connected to it
-feels a sense of desperation towards the object, may want his life to be as timeless as the urn
-reality will never line up with fantasy (expectations are too high and unrealistic)
-psychological desires show he wants love and please and for time to remain still
-is he mentally sane? he spends too much time obsessing over a concrete object
-cannot help himself but look only at the perfections of the urn, brings it to life in his mind

Keats himself was not very political, but in letters, talked about being more liberal. He also believed the poor needed better working conditions. Much of his political beliefs were found through his letters

Early Romantics supported the French Revolution, hoping to bring political change. Because of this, the government wasn’t fond of them. 

The Romantic poets saw the French Revolution as a glorious event that represented the power of ordinary citizens and the power of the individual to rise up against tyranny. 

Keats centering this poem around Greek life and culture made a point about the revolutionary spirit.
