Answer to Question 1


  • Death brings an end to pain: seems it rich to die, / To cease upon the midnight with no pain (lines 5556). Keatss ode is a classic expression of the death wish in which one sees death as a rest from the exhaustion and pain of existence. This is not a suicidal impulse, but rather a more generalized fantasy of escape from lifes turmoil.



Answer to Question 2


  • Because there is no light; he is in what he calls embalmed darkness.
