Read moreDo you find that it makes you instantly angry to have someone call you a Drama Queen? It probably feels like the offending individual just rolled his/her eyes at you, looking knowingly at all the other people in the room. And that just gives you a feeling of outrage. It’s not that you’re denying the fact that you’re a Drama Queen. No, it’s that you secretly feel…well…fulfilled by taking center stage. You actually like being extraordinary and you find value in being excessive and overdone. After all, how else can you fully explore your emotions?

The title is the same as an 1819 John Keats poem: a ballad, a type of poem revived by the romantics from the medieval genre. The lady is seen as powerfully destructive to the knight because she’s beautiful, fascinating and unattainable. She appears to have supernatural abilities. At the same time, the knight is vulnerable to her because of his state of mind and the fact that he falls hopelessly in love with her. As he wakes up from his dream and has to reckon with the fact that she’s gone, he feels like he’s dying. This poem is consistent with the themes of medieval courtly love.
