identify two characteristics of balled in keats ' La belle dame sans merci'
Hello,
La Belle Dame Sans Merci is a ballad written by John Keats which describes a romantic encounter between a knight and a beautiful but supernaturally captivating and mysterious woman. The two characteristics of the ballad are its ro-mantic and melancholic tone.
The ballad has a ro-mantic tone with vivid descriptions of the lady's beauty and the knight's in- fatuation with her.
The poem also carries a melancholic atmosphere as it portrays the knight's heart break and the fleeting nature of in-fatuatuin
I hope this helps,
Thank you
