 | | Tithonus asks Aurora not to keep him imprisoned in the east where she rises anew each morning, because his eternal old age contrasts so painfully with her eternal renewal. |  | | Tithonus sighs and remembers his youth long ago, when he would watch the arrival of the dawn and feel his whole body come alive as he lay down and enjoyed the kisses of another. |  | | Tithonus asks Aurora to release him and let him die. |

| | PlanetPapers - Tithonus |
 | | "Tithonus" also contains the fulfillment of the responsibility as a poet to teach the masses: Tennyson teaches that man's mortality is a blessing. |  | | Unfortunately for Tithonus he did not ask for eternal youth, only eternal life. |  | | His portrayal of his decision causes the common response to be rejected: most people would want eternal life, but Tithonus proves this short-sighted. |

| | Essay or Coursework - Write an essay on Tithonus: how far does Tennyson convey the experience of Tithonus? |
 | | Tithonus describes himself as a silhouette, calling himself a "white-hair'd shadow," and says, "rosy shadows bathe me." This image is particularly important, because it suggests that he has somehow assimilated himself with nature, blending into the sky but the true nature of the comparison emerges when his suffering is described. |  | | Tithonus is of course a self-obsessed character, and there are mythological and medieval allusions so the poem has Romantic aspects but the tone of the poem is darker. |  | | I think that this is a result of Tennyson's post-Romantic attitude: moving on from conventional Romantic poetry that looks at the worth of the individual, Tithonus, as a post-romantic poem, looks at this fallacy, showing us the consequences of trying to surpass the fading "arch" described in Ulysses. |
