Manfred

• “Sorrow is Knowledge, they who know the most must mourn the deepest o’er the fatal truth, the Tree of Knowledge is not that of Life.” (knowledge comes with the awareness of mortality - build on this)
• “grief, the instructor of the wise.”
• “I dwell in my despair— And live—and live for ever,” → melancholy becomes a tangible location 
• "We are all the fools of time and terror: Days Steal on us and steal from us; yet we live, Loathing our life, and dreading still to die."
• Manfred is set in the Alps (Wordsworth and Shelley both also went here - a key melancholic site); contributes to the solitude of Manfred.
