The poem A Thing of Beauty written by John Keats is about the poet’s views on beauty and its importance in life. Before moving further, I would like to tell that John Keats belonged to the Romantic Period, the theme of which was “Return to Nature“.
The poem has is based on the theme of Romantic Poetry. The Romantic Poets believed that the materialistic world (which was emerging fast during those days due to the Industrial Revolution) has given birth to greed, corruption, lust and craze for material things.
The Romantic Poets thus escaped to the rustic life in order to get closer to nature, which according to them is the ultimate source of peace, happiness and joy.
I have divided the poem A Thing of Beauty into four stanzas. Stanza 1 consists of five lines. Stanza 2 consists of eight lines. Stanza 3 consists of seven lines and Stanza 4 consists of five lines. The Rhyme Scheme of the poem is AABB.
