The blog "The Headless Boyfriend," by Cody Schaffer, Geoffrey Braught, Lauren Fleskes, depicts representations of opinions based on the poem by John Keats, Isabella; or The Pot of Basil. I found that the blog gives helpful information on how to dive deeper into the poem and that it connects Isabella; or The Pot of Basil to the world as we know it today. The video posted of the poem I really enjoyed and thought it was helpful in getting a better understanding. The layout and structure of the page make it easy to navigate and easy to read. I especially liked the fact that the blog background in contrast with the words made it easy to read. I also enjoyed the fact that the pictures and videos add to the overall presentation of the page. The fact that they took the time to find videos that connected to the poem was pretty interesting. One of the posts stated that they had to read the poem multiple times to fully get an understanding for what John Keats was trying to get across, I think that’s a useful tool to tell others with personal experience that it takes more than one time to fully understand a romantic poem.
I believe that this blog would be an excellent resource for anyone trying to get a deeper understanding of John Keats or Isabella or; the Pot of Basil. The blog goes into full detail what the poem Isabella or; The Pot of Basil is about and how to get a better understanding of it. The multiple sources that they use are great but, because they have them on their blog in one centralized location makes it less of a hassle to find. Overall the blog The Headless Boyfriend is very useful. I would recommend it many times over because of its easy to navigate layout and colour scheme, its many resources and its accuracy. Not mentioned above but also very useful is the way the author connected it to today’s media and contrasted the way John Keats and other romantic poets alike have influenced the pop culture of today.
