Abstract

Using Mikhail Bakhtin's idea of dialogism as a theoretical framework, this article seeks to investigate the use of dialogic voice in John Keats's Odes. This research essentially delves into a dialogic interpretation of the poems "Ode to a Nightingale," "Ode on a Grecian Urn," "Ode to Psyche," "To Autumn," and "Ode on Melancholy," from the perspectives of the poems' respective themes. Keats may be seen to be an engaged and social poet of his day if his odes are analyzed from a dialogue perspective. Furthermore, Keats is an escapist poet who seeks refuge in the realm of fantasy and imagination as a means of escaping the tensions of his time.
