" Death be not proud " by Jonne Donne

The sonnet ‘Death, be not proud’ is one of the most famous ‘holy sonnets’ written by John Donne (1572-1631). What follows is the poem, followed by a short introduction to it, including an analysis of its more interesting imagery and language.

It is important to notice how in contradistinction with the view of Death as non-existence, as the dark void in Christian philosophy, the poet injects inexorability into his envisioning of Death as undergoing the same transcendence at its own demise, as a conceived embodiment of human impulses and sensations. Death, by dint of this personification (becoming, in the process, a conduit of a plethora of intricate human sensibilities, all mired with the tectonics of desire and human subjectivity,) in turn, is defeated at Fate’s hands as the dying subject achieves transcendence in heaven, amidst God’s almighty glory, which is perpetuated in time. What undoes Death in the larger scheme of things is Death itself, and the irony is present in its sparkling brilliance in the sonnet.

In the poem, the speaker employs the literary device of apostrophe to directly address the personified figure of Death, which the speaker proceeds to mock, declaring that Death cannot yet kill him.

At it is heart, Death, be not proud is a rumination on the nature of mortality. of the many ways that human being condo c¨ poison, war, and sickness, to name a few) none of them are under Deaths control. we are the masters of Death, the poem argues. we hold our death in our hands, and when we reach heaven that death ceases to matter.
