... What similarities and difference have you noticed in 'La Belle Dame Sans Merci' by Keats and 'Mariana' The two poems 'La Belle Dame Sans Merci' and 'Mariana' have very similar genres. They are both based on a Romantic theme. They are both about unrequited love. In 'La Belle Dame Sans Merci' it is about a knight who falls in love with a woman and he thinks she loves him as well until she puts a spell on him and he realises it is all a trick and she doesn't care for him at all. It was written in 1819. In 'Mariana' it's about a woman (Mariana) and how she was engaged to Angelo who jilted her when the ship carrying her dowry was lost at sea. Now, still pining for Angelo, she lives in lonely seclusion in a country house, the poem talks about her miserable life without her lover.
