Sense of Innocence and Fascination with Death in Wordsworth's Poetry

Authors:

Abstract

Death is the great reality that is eternally united with Nature. In Romantic era death is romanticised, it considered as a dream through which one could escape the sufferings and hardships of human life. By knowing what the essence of life and death is, can people change their attitude towards death. Of course, realisation of death is different from child to adult. Romantic poet Wordsworth in his poetry, sought to express how children perceived death as a continuation of relationship with Nature, where adults perceived it as an ending of life. It seems that children are nurtured with love, confidence and self-confidence and a continuation with nature which overrides death. The purpose of this paper is to study how Wordsworth tried to keep a continuity with the insights of childhood innocence within life that would minimize the stern reality of death.
