An “Ode on a Grecian Urn” by John Keats is one of the five great odes, characterized by great technical difficulty. The speaker, presumably Keats, addresses an "unraptured bride," which is the first of many figurative language techniques used in the ode, in five stanzas, each stanza complete with a separate subject. It is assumed that Keats was diagnosed with tuberculosis while composing this poem, which may explain the interest in immortality throughout the narrative. The structure created by Keats along with his use of figurative language allows the overall theme of the poem to be presented; however, Keat's use of paradoxes implies a dual theme with several lines of his ode, which is why there are different interpretations. The "adopted son of silence and slow time" expresses a fertile union between an artist and a skill, which led to the creation of the urn. The artist, now dead and forgotten, left behind his urn, or his “son,” for centuries of “slow time,” which explains the “adopted son” metaphor with which Keats began praise. Keats's use of the word "still" in the first line of the first stanza raises doubts as to whether the word is an adjective, suggesting that the urn is immobile or not yet deflowered, or an adverb, suggesting the static condition of the 'urn as an abstract theory says. the final lines are spoken from the urn, addressing the speaker, due to the lack of punctuation which Keats fails to include in the couplet. However, many people believe that the final couplet is uttered by the speaker, addressing the urn as he learned from his encounter with the urn. However it is interpreted, it is clear that the final lines of the ode are vital to understanding the theme of the poem. One theory even suggests that the last two lines of the poem are Keats answering his own questions posed earlier in the poem (Smith). Because of the dual interpretation of the lines, it can be said that Keats intentionally left them ambiguous to correlate with the dual themes of the
