Written in Disgust of Vulgar Superstition (32) - needs 2B finished
  1. Religion
    1. Romantics: More focused on the powers of the natural world than Religion - furthermore, this poem is characteristic of the Romantic's tendencies to relay their authentic emotions and views
      1. 'The church bells toll a melancholy round, Calling people to some other prayer'
        1. 'Bells' have connotations of celebration but in this context Keats makes the Bells a form of alarm (loud, reverberating, offensive), that call people to prayer in an almost oppressive and controlling way. His use of 'other' could potentially be meant in a dismissive way, as if to say all prayers are similar?
          1. Later in the poem: 'still, still they toll' - constant source of repression and control
        2. 'In some black spell'
          1. 'Spells' and magic often coincides with superstition as it is something that cannot be explained
            1. 'A chill as from a tomb'
              1. Explicit references to death - maybe because religion is the biggest influencer when it comes to our attitudes towards death, namely what will come after death
          2. Role of the Poet
            1. An unpublished poem revealing Keats' attitudes towards religion - not particularly the role of the poet as it was not released but is an example of how Keats had strong opinions of authoritative systems
            2. The title in itself shows real hatred towards Religion, demeaning it to be a superstition - typically superstitious people were the poorer in society and they put more focus on good fortune and superstition. Religion is a way to control the majority
              1. 'Disgust' and 'Vulgar' - passionate language that reveals his feelings whilst writing
