• Resumen

  • According to the typical analysis of Keats’ “Ode to a Nightingale,” the nightingale represents an entity to be desired, and the persona's loss of union with it is considered sad. This paper proposes, as an alternative interpretation, that the nightingale represents an entity to be avoided and the persona's rejection of it a positive accomplishment—an analysis which illustrates a greater interplay of conflict and tension intrinsic to the poem.
