Answer 2

Answer:

• It is written in a formal style.

• It directly addresses an object.

Explanation:

An ode is a lyric poem that directly addresses a particular object. In the poem, the object is often glorified. For example, in Ode to Nightingale, John Keats directly addresses the Nightingale.

An ode is known for its solemn and formal style. John Keats' odes, for instance, are devoid of any humorous elements or frivolity.

These basic characteristics were taken from Pindar, a Greek lyric poet, and adopted by Keats, Coleridge, and other English Romantics.
