The connotation of ‘eve’ as the time between two separate days may indirectly allude to the Age of Enlightenment, where science and reason became the predominant culture in society. This change in social beliefs was criticised by Keats who supported romanticism, and this can be inferred by the cold semantic field at the beginning and end of ‘The Eve of St Agnes’; ‘Ah, bitter chill it was!’ and ‘slept among his ashes cold.’ This circular narrative could suggest that Keats felt contempt towards the idea of a new age, so he incorporated this cold reception in his opening and closing stanzas by using a negative

She is considered an American novelist, fiction writer, autobiographer, dramatist, and anthropologist.
