Discuss at least two characteristics of Romanticism in John Keat's poem "Ode toa Nightingale".

The poet in Ode To A Nightingale  is an escapist .He escapes through imagination .On his way the bower of the bliss wher the nightingale is singing in full-throated -ease , , and returning from the same , he employs Medieval ism and Hellenism .The references of Ruth , emperors and clowns  and magic casement opening in the foam , speak of Keats' love for the middle ages . Again Keats had fascination to Greek arts and culture .The installations like , Flora and country green festivals , Bacchus and his parade , light winged Dray ad of trees , etc vivify the poet's love for the ancient Greek -life .


Medieval ism and Hellenism are the two major branches of Romanticism .
