영문 초록

John Keats was one of the post-romantic poets who tried to find truth and beauty in human life. He used his imagination, Negative Capability, as a positive element in his works. And he thought the most important element in the actual world is to achieve Soul-making through the power of imagination. So he explored through the imagination into the ultimate reality of our melancholic life to give it positive meaning paradoxically. Ode to Psydche which was written first, grasped the love of psyche which was existing at the mythological world in the past, and was systematized by the problem of compensation that was derived by the pains. In this poem, Keats wanted to a pursuit of ideal world by creating soul-making to unify with her and a pursuit of beauty through understanding of actual world. In conclusion, during his short life Keats felt human agonies and troubles sensitively and understand the importance of experience in this world. He tried to see all things not through the pessimistic view but as beauty. Therefore it has the value of reestimation that he finally attains the Truth, creates his soul and becomes pure poet.
