- ... is a futile attempt at salvation is stressed at all times. The emotional seesaw that Hemingway puts the reader through is an invigorating experience but even more stimulating since he can maintain the overtones of depression.

- ... hard time adjusting to maturity. After the death of his younger brother Allie, his inability to remain in one school, and his ongoing dislike of many people and their morals, Holden has been driven to depression in which he dispenses to a psycoanaylgist throughout the novel.

His inability to grasp the differences between reality and allusion, lead Holden into his state of mental depression, because he makes it possible for himself to expect only the best, everything perfect, and unchanged, which is truly preposterous.

This fear is increased through the punctuation, as the pauses heighten the ... main words emphasised were `Beauty`, `Pleasure`, `Melancholy`, `Joy`, four emotions which draw from each other. Keats shows indulgence in this poem, his message isn t clear as his other odes, for you either indulge in depression or in beauty, but the two are inseparable. Therefore is beauty a joy?
