Donne treats death as a human, and tells him to not be proud because he is not
scared as many other people. A theme is created while the author continues his
poem until the end. He compares death as being sleeping, not a big deal , nothing
to be worried about. Donne makes it a character through personification.
“One short sleep past, we wake eternally”.
Faith plays a huge role here, because we know that for conviction we can go to
heaven or hell after our short sleep. It makes the paradoxical statement that
mortality is itself mortal. Can be something moral to the proper author about
fighting death too. We can only accept death in our life’s as a natural process,
where not even God could scape to later live eternally.
Death bring a lot of pleasures since those good souls whom death take from earth
suffering experience and bring them up to rest on their bones. Donnes critize death
for believing himself too much. Death is not but only slave of humans of their
bodies; but a slave to Fate, chance, kings, and desperate men (line 9). Death is
not connected specifically with a hierarchy. A desperate man can decide to go
through dead way to end his suffer on earth (suicide). Dead at the end has no
power at all because he didn’t decide for the person, the person decided to die,
how and when too.
Death will die at the end. In religion when we sleep eternally , we wake up in
heaven, I we were good during our life on earth. Death is itself destined to die.
Dead one day will cease to exist. No meaning of being still trying to force
something we know that at the end we knew since the beginning was impossible.
At some point we all know we will die, but we don’t know how it will be, so we
can’t just be scared of something we don’t know yet!
