Answers
Attitude towards life. Shelley’s attitude towards life is on the one hand immensely pessimistic, and, on the other, extremely optimistic. He is pessimistic about the present and bears optimistic hopes for the future. Contemplation of the corruption, tyranny and social problems of the present fills him with despondency. But he believes in the imminent dawning of a new era- a golden millennium- when all evils will disappear giving place to a reign of love, beauty and happiness. He is, by nature, a hypersensitive person- reacting to all kinds of sentiments and passion with an extreme intensity of feeling. He is a man of many moods, and his poems, depending on the moods, are either expressions of ebullient ecstasy or revelations of an extreme despair.
