Delisha jernigan Because if you believe in God then you not that after "death" there is eternal life and everlasting life is better than what we are living here on Earth.
Donne adresses death as a person and explains to him that he does not posses the power that he think he has. " whom thou think thou dost overthrow" He compares death to sleep and since he isn't afraid of death he feels its just a state of sleep. He then compares death to "poppy" in other words pills . I find it funny because he tells death that there are things such as pills that put us in an even deeper sleep . " One short sleep past, we wake eternally" He knows that death is just that one step from eternally life which allows him not to be afraid because he already has this sense of security that once he leaves this earth he is going to have an everlasting life. "And death shall be no more ; Death , thou shalt die" Once everyone has reaches judgement day there will be no more death and at that point death its self shall pass and die. Therefore death doesn't truly have the power because itself will die.
Henry hiracheta 2nd per. In the poem, "The Holy Sonnet X," the poet, John Donne, utilizes his faith in eternal life to face Death, which alot of people are afraid of, including Donne. He starts of by mocking Death when stating that Death has no reason to have pride for his grasp on the human life, becuase (in Donne's view) Death cannot kill, but rather Death has the holy honor of allowing the once living to pass on to a much more pleasurable afterlife (heaven). The association of pleasure with Death is meant to mock Death. Donne then calls Death a slave to the normal occurrences and occupants of life: "fate, chance, kings, and desperate men." He then lowers Death's place in the minds of the living by comparing Death to a "poppy or charm." In the last two stanzas Donne reveals that Death is just a "short sleep" that will open the gates for one to "wake eternally," and at which point Death will no longer be a part of life.
Donne, in his poem Sonnet X, he's personifying "Death" by analyzing and criticizing the different characteristics of death. By turning the criticism of death as less fearful into the good qualities. "Rest and sleep", mentioned in the poem two things that aren't scary at all. In the last coupe of stanzas at the end, he shifts his point of view on the argument by stating death is a stage of life of eternity who believes in it. Donne returns back to criticizing deathe for thinking to awful of itself. Lastly he compares death to slaves.
In Donne's poem "Holy Sonnet X", he explains his personal view on death to show that while he doesn't like it, it's just another step in life, something as common as "rest and sleep". He even goes as far to question its purpose and wonder why people would wish for it when others are dying from "fate and chance...war and sickness", not ready to leave this world. In a way I feel as though he is thanking death for taking people away from these things. "One short sleep past, we sleep eternally.....Death shall be no more", has a shift and instead of using death and sleep literally, Donne uses "sleep" to show how tranquil and relaxed you would be after facing "death" or problems in your daily life.
In this poem, Donne is against death and he feels that he will never die. Reason being is because he is a believer of the "after life" and his soul will live forever once it is delivered to his god. He connects death with sleeping and other things people do in their everyday life that has to do with the body resting. "One...eternally" is referring to the soul leaving the body; then going on to its eternal life.
In the poem Donne believes that death is a natural part of life and should be embraced instead of fear. He sees death as new begging because he believes in life after death. He compares the sad and harsh feelings related to death to the peacefulness of an everlasting nap.
In donne sonnet x he compares people belief of death to its reality by decribing how someone can see a thing as death to be the worse possible out come due to it symbol of the end when in reality its the greatest because you no longer have worries of death and can now live for eternally
John Donne believes that people are born to die death is a part of life everyone that is born must die one day each day they live they are that must closer to death so why be afraid when their day comes they should embrace reality. He compares death to sleep and believes that what if while people are alive they are actually sleep and when they are dead they have finally awoken .
In "X" by John Donne , by reading this you can tell that Donne believes in the after life. He compares death to sleep when he states "One short sleep . . . we wake eternally." Donne isn't afraid of death and says that others shouldn't be either. Death is a natural thing and when it comes you wake into the after life. Donne is saying that death is nothing but death and it cannot kill him but only wake him up to something better.
In Donne's poem, Sonnet X he analyses death by comparing it too sleep and saying it brings pleasure, rather than pain which is believed by many as what death actually is, and talking about death as if it were a person saying it can only bring peace by awakening us from sleep in which we dream life.
Donne personifies death as something powerless and undreadful. He compares it to rest and sleep to convey that it is like a pleasure. He explains that it is powerless since one can also put himself to sleep by using drugs. Donne wants the reader to see death as something that does not exist since it is just a short sleep that takes us to eternal life.
The situation is that death is reality and everyone will die. The abstract idea is death and he makes a comparison of death and sleep! He refers to death as resting.
He compares death to rest or sleep, something not to be afraid of. He basically defines it as a pleasure. Death is nothing but a short sleep that we will wake up from and find ourselves in eternal life. Death isn't something to be afraid of for it is going to come to us all one day in time .
Why would someone not be afraid of death?

ReplyDeleteDeath is just a "short sleep" after which a good man/woman will wake up and find themselves in eternity, it will seem like Death itself has died.
