THE ONES WHO WALK AWAY FROM OMELAS BTS SERIES
The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Series has centered around the journey into adulthood, with each member facing their own fears and insecurities along the way. But much like the sparkler and match they hold to the impending darkness, even the brightest of moments eventually burn out. In the story, some residents choose to walk away from the false paradise to face a new world of uncertainty head on: in the MV we watch BTS finally choose to leave their youth behind and move forward into the future by boarding the train to spring. The Omelas hotel room is the center of the member’s nostalgia, the false utopia they have trapped themselves within in order to preserve the bliss of youth forever. Le Guin, “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas.” As DreamTeller theorized, the city of Omelas - as well as the hotel room in the MV - stand as a false utopia: a place where everyone is perpetually happy and carefree, but under the surface, one child must suffer in order to maintain the balance. And in true BTS fashion, they’ve managed to pull out some obscure literary references to tie into the plot of “Spring Day.” The most notable of which is the inclusion of the Omelas Hotel, in reference to the short story by Ursula K. This is where the group bids goodbye to the concept - and their youth - in a truly beautiful way.įollowing a frigid winter of teen angst and uncertainty, spring comes as a new beginning the landscape begins to fill with new life, and new stories begin. Some may say that “Spring Day” falls outside of the Most Beautiful Moment in Life Series, but I see it as a conclusion to the series a moment of closure and reprieve before the group continues onward. To me, the MV for “Spring Day” serves as a final wind-up of the narrative of loss and growing up that we’ve seen through the rest of the Most Beautiful Moment in Life series. We’ve watched them be young delinquents in “ Fire” and “ Run,” experience loss and violence in “ I Need You,” and grow as artists in “ Blood, Sweat and Tears.” Through all the sub-plots of Most Beautiful Moment in Life, there has been one constant theme: the tight bond between the members all on the cusp of adulthood. With BTS slowly growing up through this string of releases, comes the appropriate follow up to their tale in the form of the special album Wings: You Never Walk Alone, and its single “Spring Day. Shelley views his newfound relationship with the wind as being a rebirth of creativity and intellect and ultimately gains the gifts he set out to find from being open to the west wind.It’s been a wild ride as BTS released their Most Beautiful Moment in Life (HYYH) series over the course of the past two years. He shows this by saying, ” Make me thy Lyre”. The fifth section presents the resolution to Shelley s desire to be effected by the wind by Shelley letting go of his self-control and allowing himself to be an instrument of the wind. In the fourth section of the poem Shelley shows his desire to be the autumn leaves, tempest clouds, and turbulent waves so that he to can be effected by the wind and nature the way the objects are. Grey with fear and tremble and despoil themselves “. The third section relates the winds effect on the waves in the sea, which Shelley describes as “. The fierce storm clouds represent Shelley s frustration in his lack of original ideas. The second section of the poem tells about the clouds in the sky that are forewarning ” the locks of the approaching storm”. The line ” Wild Spirit, which art moving everywhere Destroyer and preserver.” shows the relationship between Shelley s desire to create and nature s force. The first section of the poem focuses on the description of the colorful autumn leaves being stirred by the wind. “Ode to the West Wind” was written by Shelley on a day when the weather was unpredictable and windy, the poem reflects the mood of the weather and expresses Shelley s desire for creativeness and intellect. Shelly is mainly noted as the most passionate of the Romantic writers and for his usage of experimental styles in poetry. In 1822 Shelley drowned in a boating accident in the Gulf of Spieza. Mary Shelley, Shelley s wife who was also involved in literature, wrote Frankenstein. Shelley continued writing throughout his life and his most notable works include “Ozamandias”, “Laon and Cythna”, and “Rosalind and Helen”. The marriage was short lived and Shelley quickly fell in love with Mary Godwin. Shortly after being expelled, Shelley married a commoner named Harriet Westbrook, which upset his family because of his wife s low social standing. He attended Eton for his primary education and Oxford University until he was expelled for the publication of The Necessity of Atheism. Shelley spent the majority of his life in England where he was born to an upper class family. ” Ode to the West Wind” was written by Percy Bysshe Shelley shortly before his death in 1822.
