Compare and contrast the views of Autumn in Ted Hughes’s There Came A E

Compare and contrast the views of tumble in Ted Hughess on that point Came ADay and John Keatss Ode To Autumn. How do the poets use languageto convey these views?There are many similarities and differences between the both tumblepoems There came a day by Ted Hughes and Ode to fall by JohnKeats. Both poems are based on evenfall but they portray it in differentways. There came a day presents autumn in a negative way where asode to autumn presents it in a positive way. The reason that JohnKeats may have written in a in a positive way about autumn is becausehe was a pre-twentieth century poet and had a love for nature andrespect for the countryside. The room in which he writes is known asromanticism, which is when the poet writes from a personal view,rather than based on facts. Ted Hughes was a twentieth century poetand wrote in a slightly different way to John Keats. He knew a lotabout nature and was fond of animals and plants. This could explainwhy he felt autumn is a harsh and ruthless season, because itsymbolises decay and the end of most plant life until spring.We can tell from the title of John Keatss poem Ode To Autumn thatit is a positive poem, and obviously about autumn. The title means topraise autumn which implies that it is going to be about the goodaspects of the season. However, in Ted Hughess There Came a Daythere is a sense of anticipation and fear about the day. From thetitle we cannot tell that the poem is about autumn but it is to a greater extentnegative.In the opening stanza of Ode to Autumn the first few lines set abright and colourful introduction to the poem. It talks about autumnas a season of mist and mellow fruitfulness. From this we know that itis a... ...rsonal tastes and styles. John Keats was a pre-twentiethcentury poet, so the vocabulary used in his poem was very old fashioned and traditional. We can tell this from the following wordsand phrases thou hast and thou dost. Ted Hughes was a twentiethcentury poet, so his writing a nd use of language is more modern,phrases much(prenominal) as stuff them and plucked it imply that it is a morerecent poem.The two poems have many differences and only a few similarities. I cogitate there to be so many differences to be because of the differenttime period that the two poets lived in because John Keatss poem ismore traditional and Ted Hughess is modern. It is also because of thedifferent style they write in and their own personal points view aboutautumn. Although I feel the similarity between the two poems is thatboth poets show their individual feelings.
