In the poem, Kubla Khan, the elements of nature are described, such as river, hills, gardens, and so on. Here, the author wanted to represent “external nature and human thoughts affection”. The mention of a savage holy and enchanted place and its relationship with the characters in the poem, is a good example of it.
The inclusion of a maid playing her instrument shows a part of the characteristics of Romanticism: the need to free men from oppression. The woman in this poem might play music as a way to get rid of bad feelings that oppressed her.
The poem is also a simple one, because each line is adaptable for readers to comprehend the main idea of the context in the poem. Most of the lines have a meaning which can be able to move readers’ feelings and affections. For that reason, each line of the poem can produce a feeling of sadness in expressions like “sunless sea”and a “lifeless ocean” It can also produce happiness in expressions like the miracle of “a sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice”.
