I have a moderator that will delete your answer and take away the points you were given if the answer has nothing to do with the question. Thank you all so much! Keats addresses his poem “Ode on a Grecian Urn” to the urn itself, using the poetic technique of apostrophe. How does this technique help illustrate the immortality of art? Use examples from the poem to support your answer.

Answer 1

In literature, apostrophe is a figure of speech sometimes represented by exclamation “O”.  so in the poem you can see the representation in "O Attic shape! Fair attitude! with brede " or in poetry, an apostrophe is a figure of speech in which the poet addresses an absent person, an abstract idea, or a thing, so "Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss,
Though winning near the goal yet, do not grieve;
       She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss,
               For ever wilt thou love, and she be fair! "address the "lover" and this practice is found throughout the poem
