Answer:
D. Keats
Read Explanation:
1. The Poem
Adonais is a pastoral elegy written in 1821 by Percy Bysshe Shelley.
2. Subject of the Elegy
It mourns the death of John Keats, the young Romantic poet who died of tuberculosis in 1821 at the age of 25.
3. Key Points
“Adonais” is modeled after classical elegies, especially Milton’s Lycidas.
Shelley praises Keats’ poetic genius, laments his early death, and finally consoles himself with the thought that Keats has become immortal in the realm of art and spirit.
The name Adonais comes from Adonis (a youth from Greek mythology associated with beauty and tragic death).
