Keats often quotes that beauty is a joy forever, which means that the pleasure of the soul is in the beauty of nature. The character in Endymion is seen searching for happiness but faces opposition due to discontentment. He is named after a figure in the Greek myth. His desire to get the love of goddess Diana runs into the world of impossibilities. Endymion realizes that the only way to achieve the abstract ideal is by learning to accept the real human experience.
