So today in class we discussed the term "negative capability." Obviously, never before hearing of this term, i had no idea what it meant or in what context it was being used. John Keats defined it as "When a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason." Now, after hearing (or reading) this definition, I interpreted it as the ability for an artist to take his/her personality out of the text and write as a neutral party. Keats believed that Lord Byron and William Wordsworth were too egotisticalvand included too much of themselves in their texts. I do not agree with Keats. Mainly because if a person is a writer, they need to separate themselves from every other writer by writing their story from their perspective. If a story does not have a piece of its author in it, there just is not enough emotion in it.
