The study analyzes stylistically and linguistically the poem "Ode to a Nightingale" by John Keats do so. A detailed analysis of the poem's formal aspects, sound devices, figurative language, syntax as well as diction will portray how Keats strategically considers every detail to be able to express the speaker's emotions and the poem's topics, such as getting away, mortality, and the immortality of art. Keats' remarkable approach, manifested in an unconventional six-stanza structure, and the rich sonic elements of assonance and consonance, figurative language, and elevated poetic diction combine together to produce a flowing and ethereal setting for the speaker's turbulent ideas and colorful imagination. The linguistic selection also responds to the conventions of the romantic poets and showcases Keats' own likes.
