John Keats was not from well to do family. His father was an ordinary Bar-Man at an inn and he wasn't able to send Keats in good school. Keats financial conditions checked his way. When he was in a cheap school he was afraid of not becoming a poet, he went in medical field and after getting certificate in medicine he rejected this field because spiritually he was a poet not a surgeon. So he  announced he'd do poetry and would become a poet rather than a surgeon.

He gave all his time to poetry and literature although he suffered a lot all through his life. He faced diseases of his family and he faced poverty.
