Ode to a Grecian Urn

Posted by xckyle in Uncategorized



What i learned from my research was almost this intire poem.  Due to the old language the imegery in this poem was not coming acros to me except in the 4th stanza.  So my research made me realize what the heck is going on in this poem.  From the men (god/men) chasing women, to the musican and the his lover under trees forever young, and the villagers leading the cow to be sacrificed traveling to an unseen destination and coming from an unseen town.  my research also taought me the paradox of this poem between the negative connotation and positive connotation comparitavely between the 2nd and 3rd stanza.  My research also confuessed me so much more in the final stanza because it made me consider who was talking and who was being addressed.  some combination between the speaker, the reader, or the Urn itself.  Besides from other questions that arissed from my research, i really want to know more about the word choice of teased.  “(the Urn) doust tease me out of thought.  Teased in that in this ideal life of the Urn there is no full fill ment or the Urn made the speaker escape from the problems of life?  The sites I visted were more questions then awnsers (kind of like class :) ok 215 I’m done)
