I am interested in showing how John Keats reflects his struggles with disease and death during his lifetime in his poem "La Belle Dame sans Merci: A Ballad". A ballad is defined in the dictionary as a poem or song that narrates the author's story they wish to tell. "La Belle Dame sans Merci" truly is a ballad as we can see John Keat's life reflects upon his work in a Pre-Raphealite manner, as one who struggles to escape darkness.
