To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
(1.) Prometheus Unbound. Presents his passion for reform. Allegorical characters. Prometheus = loving and sufiering humanity. Asia = spirit of love in nature. Jupiter = tyrant god of superstition. Demogorgon = eternal wisdom. Demogorgon overthrows Jupiter. Prometheus is released from the rock to which he has been chained, and withdraws to a land of bliss with Asia. Beautiful rhapsodies, but no clear social vision. (2.) The Cenci. A tragedy of terror, of unrivalled intensity. Two faults: (a) The... subject, an incestuous passion, not tit for literature, (b) No gradation of character. His beings are young angels or old devils. 11 C. Elegy. Adonais, his only elegy, is immortal. Inspired by pity for Keats's death, which he supposed was due to adverse criticism. Graceful in movement, mournful and musical; closes with fine passage on the immortality of the soul. V. The Sensitive Plant. (1.) Class: Lyrical ballad, expression of emotion predominating over story. (2.) Metre: four-stress iambic and anapaestic; lines in quatrains, rhyming on bb.
