The Analysis of Ode to the West Wind
Ode to the West Wind is written by Percy Bysshe Shelley in 1819 to encourage those struggle for freedom. At the same time, the poem expresses the hope that its words will inspire and influence those who read or hear it. Shelley wanted his message of reform and revolution spread, and the wind becomes the trope for spreading the word of change through the poet-prophet figure.

The poem is a lyric poem that addresses the west wind as a powerful force and asks it to scatter the poet's words throughout the world. In Ode to the West Wind, Shelley uses the wind to represent driving change and a carrier for his ideas.

This poem is a highly controlled text about the role of the poet as the agent of political and moral change. This was a subject Shelley wrote a great deal about, especially around 1819, with this strongest version of it articulated the last famous lines of his "Defence of Poetry": "Poets are the hierophants of an unapprehended inspiration; the mirrors of the gigantic shadows which futurity casts upon the present; the words which express what they understand not; the trumpets which sing to battle, and feel not what they inspire; the influence which is moved not, but moves. Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world."

In 'Ode to the West Wind', Percy Bysshe Shelley tries to show his desire for transcendence, by explaining that his thoughts and ideas, like the 'winged seeds' are trapped. The West Wind acts as a force for change and forward movement in the human and natural world.

Shelley sees winter not just as the last season of vegetation but as the last phase of life. Shelley observes the changing of the weather from autumn to winter and its effects on the environment. Shelley is trying to show that a man’s ideas can spread and live on beyond his lifetime by having the wind carry his 'dead thoughts' which through destruction.
