Comment on the tone of Keats Ode to Psyche and show how it shifts to befit the poet s purpose The tone of Ode to Psyche by John Keats - is gentle and full of wonder At the start the tone is sad The speaker feels sorry for Psyche She has no temple no songs no priests and no worshippers Other gods had many honors but she had none The tone here is soft quiet and full of pity Then the tone becomes loving The speaker says he will love her more than others did He speaks with respect He speaks with warmth The tone shows deep care He wants to give her the honour she lost Next the tone turns hopeful He decides to become her priest He chooses to build a temple in his mind The tone grows bright It becomes full of imagination It shows creative joy
