Not a bad analysis, but you have the Christian viewpoint, at least as expressed by Paul, incorrect. Paul did not believe in a disembodied soul living forever. He believed in the soul “sleeping” until the time of the general resurrection, at the return of the Lord. At that time each soul will be awaken and given a new body, a new physicality. That new body will live forever (”imperishable”). Paul viewed this new embodiment as a part of God’s larger renewal of all creation. A careful analysis of Paul in 1 Corinthians 15 and Romans 8 makes these points.

Well written I could not have put it in better terms myself. Your essay was logically thought out and embedded with proof; which is what a professor looks for in an essay and I concur, opinions are nothing without good evidence to back it up.

About Death, be not proud

John Donne is an escapist…..his idea about death is subjective in nature….he is unable to digest the fact death is a universal truth…
He personifies death as a human being and talks to it and challenges death it’s not a big for it to occur as its role is also played by war, disease and poison…
Our Literature Sir taught it very nicely
so we like this poem!!

thank you so much Derick, your essay helped me much doing the assignment, even I was looking for features of metaphysical poetry and figurative speech in the poem but it’s ok. Additionally, Noura is right, cause we Muslims have the same belief in eternal life after death and we believe that the angel of death will die at the final day or te day of judgment, so we have no conceptual contradiction regarding this point and the poem in general.
Thanks again. … regards.

Thank you alot for your wonderful analysis and I just want to tell you that even Muslims have the same religion concept about Eternal Life and that is what makes me love the poem….

I think I love you! I’m working on an assignment for my composition II class in which the teacher gave us a variety of poems with questions she wanted specific answers to. I was having trouble finding the information I needed and your essay was so helpful. Thank you for sharing your amazing work.

Derick, I must say you have made an irrefutable synopsis of this great work. I too have studied this very work for academic and personal reasons. I found your take on it to be close if not exact to my own. Thank you for this unexpected and most likely unacknowledged synopsis, It’s definitely worth the read.

thanks,

It helped a lot with helping me gain knowledge of the poem. A friend told me to look into using it for a english assignment.I’m not good at poetry so I like seeing other people’s point of view.
