Written in Disgust of Vulgar Superstition
(32) - needs 2B finished
- Religion
- 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
- 'The church bells toll a melancholy
round, Calling people to some other
prayer'
- '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?
- Later in the poem: 'still,
still they toll' - constant
source of repression and
control

- 'In some black spell'
- 'Spells' and magic often coincides
with superstition as it is something
that cannot be explained
- 'A chill as from a tomb'
- 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

- Role of the Poet
- An unpublished poem revealing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

- 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
- 'Disgust' and 'Vulgar' - passionate
language that reveals his feelings
