Read the passage from "Ode on a Grecian Urn." What men or gods are these? What maidens loth? What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape? What pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy? What is the impact of Keats's repetition of the word what ?

The repeated “What” questions show the speaker looking closely at the urn and wondering about the figures and events depicted on it. This repetition creates a curious, questioning tone, so choice A is correct. It does not give the people’s own thoughts; the questions are the speaker’s response to the scene.
