I'm studying this poem for AS Lit, and I kept getting headaches from reading the huge blocks of text that this poem consists of. I loved the way that you broke the poem down, and I appreciate the help.
You are amazing! Extraordinary teaching, poetical! I was wondering about Apollonius, and in your introduction as representing logic. Do we know WHICH Apollonius? Did Keats ever make clear? Was Keats thinking of the Apollonian (Apollo) god of light & reason, or of the historical first century Apollonius (of Tyrana)? Big difference! The latter, a Greek Pythagorean teacher, miracle worker it's said Jesus like, where "number" is mystical... Not all reason & logic I would think... Thanks.
It's great of you to explain such a great poem to us in a crystal clear manner. It is so helpful. You alone made such a long poem so interesting. Thank you with every fibre of my own being.
I’m about to watch this, I’ve just started studying this in college but when I hit play on the video, I had my volume way turned up and it scared the everloving crap out of me 😂😂😂
Thank you so much for uploading this detailed plot with commentaries. I am working on Lamia motif for a novel, and am using different artistic impressions of Lamia. In next chapter I am going to work on this poem, but not being native in English I am having a hard time with understanding everything and there isn't any translation to my native language. This helps a lot, this makes everything clear to me, so thanks once again. I am interested to know whether this video was made for a course on literature or some other purpose?
