A NarrativePoem by Creator/JohnKeats set in TheMiddleAges, written in 1819. It is written in the then-less popular Spenserian stanzas. It tells the tale of two lovers, Porphyro and Madeline whose families are having a feud. During a banquet, Porphyro sneaks into the castle to meet Madeline. He is met by an old servant, Angela, who tells him as it is the Eve of St Agnes, Madeline has prepared a ritual that is supposed to show her her future husband in a dream. Porphyro insists on seeing Madeline (but not speaking to her), so Angela hides him in a cupboard in Madeline's room. When she wakes up she mistakes Porphyro who has come out of the closet to be a dream. After a pleasant night together, Madeline is undeceived and they run away together.

* DateRape: One common interpretation of the events of the poem, given the dubious consent given in the sex scene. This is, of course, countered by the belief that the poem expresses OneTrueLove. Where you fall tends to depend on the SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism.
* FemmeFatale: Arguably Madeline. While Porphyro did seduce her, some scholars think she asked for it, because it is she who rebukes Porphyro for not being as romantic as he was just now (in her dream), therefore inviting him to seduce her. The fact she thought that their intimate encounter was only a dream might contradict this.
