Keats begins the poem with a question: "Oh, what can afflict you, knight-at-arms, loitering alone and pale?". He does this to ask the “knight at arms” what made him so weak, so pale, dying in a field somewhere and the knight's answer takes up the rest of the poem. The images in my visual representation depicting a heart broken and weakened by the cold, deceptive lips of the "femme fatale" are powerful and highly symbolic because they express the coldness and ambiguity of the deceitful witch who weakened the knight. The witch's icy lips symbolize her deceitful nature and how she deceives the knight into a deadly sleep, which is also visualized in my depiction. His mortal sleep is also represented in a 'before/after' representation in which the image of the beautiful woman in the meadows is shown, and after his nightmare, the frozen, desolate and dark side of the hill on which he wakes up is shown knight. the nearby image. The speaker says that the "sedges" are all dead around the lake, and "no birds sing." We can deduce that it is autumn since all the birds have migrated, and the plants have "withered". The speaker continues to address this sick and depressed "knight in arms". He asks about the "lily" on the knight's "forehead", suggesting that the knight's face is pale as a lily.
