... Comparing two ballads A ballad is a story often set to song and here I am going to study in detail the make-up and difference between two very different ballads. For my first poem I chose 'La Belle Dame Sans Merci', (The Beautiful Woman Without Thanks) by John Keats. Comparing to this I chose W.H. Auden's: 'MissGee'. Out of the selection I picked these two poems because of how strongly they attracted my attention; Keats' because it was so romantic and full of beauty and Auden's because of the simplistic life and pathos evoked by this unsightly woman who wished so much to be beautiful, loved or just noticed. They compare well using just this factor of beauty but I shall delve into them more to find other contrasts. Wyston Hugh Auden was born in York, England in 1907. He moved to Birmingham where he spent his childhood. In 1928 Auden published
