ReplyDeleteDonne, in his poem Sonnet X, analyzes the different characteristics of death, comparing it to more enjoyable activities such as sleep and having rest, depicting a very different perspective of how death is like; he also suggests that death is just a stage of life, not the end of it, especially for those who believe in eternal life, emphasizing the importance for having the hope of live after death.
ReplyDeleteNicely articulated D!

ReplyDeleteDonne depicts the different aspects of death by comparing it to everyday activities such as sleeping and relaxing composing a contrast view on the reality of death. He also supplies that death is not the end of life but another phase that one must go through in the circle of life, emphasizing the wistful idea that when we awaken from our eternal rest we shall be reborn into the light (life) and darkness (death) will be no more.

ReplyDeleteIn the Sonnet X, Donne illustrates a frank, but rational interpretation of death and how is should be looked at. Although it takes the people we care about and love the most,even though it is apart of life and can not be avoided! Illustrating that death is a beautiful but mourning creation. Even when your dead, your never really dead. After life you endure a much more pleasures than you did when alive. He contrasted life, death, and the after life in such a way that makes you think and believe things you've probably never thought about.
Donne informs us the different sides of death by comparing an everyday action ,like sleeping ,to him viewing the actual reality of death. He mentions that death is another part of life and that there will always be life after you pass.
ReplyDeleteIn Sonnet X, Donne addresses death directly with confidence that it is merely a positive part of life that doesn't even exist for those who believe in life after death. Donne expresses his belief that death gets its strength from man's perception of it as dreadful when truly it is the only thing to die.
ReplyDeleteDonne compares the loss of innocence that the blood has after being mixed; which he describes the flea as being guilty after this mixture, with the loss of "innocence" this woman shall have after falling into his seduction, as a since of guilty pleasure.
ReplyDeleteHoly Sonnet X, approaches death in place of it being natural to life in order to show death doesn't make its own decisions about who dies. Donne mentions death is brief and once you wake up we will be in another world "the afterlife".
ReplyDeleteJohn Donne creates a imagery of comparison showing that death is presented as sleep, rest, etc. He also states "soonest our best men with thee do go", meaning that the best ones die first.

ReplyDeleteIn Sonnet X, Donne envisions death as something everyone encounters in their lifetime. He contrasts the usual perception of death, which is supposedly painful, to something more relaxing and peaceful, such as rest. By doing this, he challenges death as a person, because he feels that death cannot harm him, but instead bring him peace and pleasure.

ReplyDeleteJohn Donne contemplates the concept of death he states that death is not mighty or dreadful it simply is but rather than it being a unavoidable truth of life it should be viewed as a short sleep that allows us to awaken to a eternal life filled with pleasure in which death itelself is dead and the human natured fear of death is no more.
Donne describes death as having its negative image from the nature that surrounds it.Because of its nature,death is feared;but in reality,we are all born to die and to rest in a better place.
ReplyDeleteIn the poem X, by John Donne he scrutinizes the different type of perspectives and/or characteristics about death comparing life before death to be the exact same as life after death. He's saying that death is not a proud thing but it is apart of life and that the eternal life shall be just as amusing as life before death. He also compares death to sleep in the second to last stanza by saying you sleep for a short painful time as and you awake in an enteral life stronger then before.
ReplyDeleteDonne compares life and death to the seasons and love while conveying an idea of enjoying everyday life.
ReplyDeletein the poem, Donne characterizes death as a painful dislike of what all mortals must face, weather one welcomes it or rejects it, it shall forever remain as a factor of existentialism.
ReplyDeletebetter!
DeleteIn Sonnet x by John Donne, he manifests the image how death can comsume the soul of a man.
ReplyDeleteDonne compares the effects of death to sleep. He even challenges the idea that death can be conquered
In Sonnet X, Donne portrays death as a short sleep in order to show that death is not mighty and dreadful.
ReplyDeleteJohn Donne compares life to death and explains that death isn't really how it is consumed to be, as in horror, dreadful, and hurtful etc. He gives examples of how death is really presented which is just as sleep, or rest etc.
ReplyDeleteIn Sonnet By John Donne compares life and death by fire which means its there one minute then its gone.
