This study scrutinizes Freud's theory of the unconscious mind in the way which penetrates one of the most memorable and notable poems, Ode on a Grecian Urn by John Keats in the Romantic Period. It shall then carry on perusing Keats in a novel layer, adopting Sigmund Freud's theory of the unconscious mind as a cathexis reflection of the poem. By juxtaposing the psychoanalysis perspective and the noteworthy poem, Ode on a Grecian Urn, the research unveils in what aspects Freud's psychoanalytical interpretation conveys the psychological stimulus behind the poem. The research probes the extent that John Keats's reflection on the poem plays a pivotal role as a cathexis in the sense of Freud's theory of the unconscious mind, which is the area that the reader sees the concepts psychoanalytically articulating in the poem. From the late 18th to the mid-19th century, framing the Romantic Period, this study attempts to disclose the unconscious impulse behind Keats's reflection on the poem by demonstrating how the poem decodes itself as a way of cathexis from Freud's term of Sublimation.

By defining the Modernist movement, it is emphasized in what aspects this movement penetrates the monumental poem, The Cantos. Alongside showing a sequence as to how modernism was formed and developed in time, the research provides a deeper understanding through Ezra Pound’s modernist perception and W. B. Yeats’s occultism over his work of art, A Vision. Pound’s epic poem, The Cantos and Yeats’s unique work, A Vision fulfill the need of a literary satiation in The Modernist period. By juxtaposing The Cantos and Yeats’s occultist perspective, the research probes the extent that the two works create a literary escapism, which attempts to balance the sanctity of human sanity. In the Modernist period, the period of picturing the frustration of the First World War, the interrelation of these works of art turns out a reflection of a literary recuperation from the cataclysm led by The Mode...

The poem explores the question of Light, which is central to its plot and themes. Through an analysis of Ricoeur’s theory of interpretation, this research reveals how Ricoeur’s hermeneutic perspective penetrates the poem and provides a deeper understanding of Milton’s representation of Light and Darkness. Ricoeur’s theory of interpretation suggests that the meaning of a text is not fixed or predetermined, but rather emerges through a dynamic process of dialogue between the reader and the text. This approach is particularly relevant to Paradise Lost, which is a complex and multi-layered work that invites multiple readings and interpretations. By applying Ricoeur’s theory to the poem, this research demonstrates how the mystery of Light is delineated from the beginning to the end of the epic, and how Milton’s representation of Light and Darkness creates an indispensable link to Ricoeur’s hermeneutic perspective. One of the key aspects of this link is the question of divine and human agency in the poem. Milton’s representation of Light and Darkness is closely tied to his theological views, which emphasize the role of free will in human affairs. By exploring this theme through the lens of Ricoeur’s theory of interpretation, this research sheds new light on the poem’s portrayal of the struggle between good and evil, and the role of human agency in this conflict. Moreover, the research argues that Milton’s use of Light and Darkness is not simply a matter of theological symbolism, but also reflects his literary artistry. In the 17th century, the interpretation of light and darkness pertains to Ricoeur’s hermeneutic perception by demonstrating how Milton transforms the use of the words in the poem. Milton’s manipulation of light and dark imagery is an essential part of his poetic vision and contributes to the richness and complexity of the poem. By applying Ricoeur’s theory of interpretation to the poem, the research provides a deeper understanding of the mystery of Light and Darkness and sheds new light on the role of human agency in the poem’s portrayal of the struggle between good and evil. Ultimately, this research highlights the enduring relevance of Milton’s epic poem, and its capacity to inspire new insights and interpretations across a range of disciplines.
