- The season is clearly autumn, a time traditionally depicted as one of melancholy and decline. This mood is wholly consistent with the emotional enervation of the enthralled and abandoned knight at arms. (Some have seen an autobiographical dimension in this melancholy and decline, speculating that Keats used the myth of the succubus-like fairy creature who enchants and seduces men, only to cast them aside, as a way of expressing his complex feelings toward his fiancée, Fanny Brawne. The historical record, however, shows her to have been an intelligent young woman who reciprocated the depth and tenderness of his love, a far cry from the shallow and heartless flirt of legend toying with the affections of the tormented, dying poet. Their relationship is movingly portrayed in Jane Campion’s 2009 film Bright Star.)
