초록
Donne surveys the amorous relationship between men and women intensively, yet his interest does not remain focused solely upon love. The language of war and politics intertwines with that of love in Donne's Elegies. Through active use of analogy and metaphor, Donne portrays male desire and fantasy. In relation to his Elegies, Donne's attitude towards gender and women have been a issue of continued academic survey. Due to his unflattering descriptions of women, he has often been understood as a writer with a misogynist inclination. Yet this question requires a more intricate and complex interpretation, as Donne interrelates diverse subject-matters with his descriptions. Views and assessments of critics upon this matter have also varied depending on which works and aspects they emphasize. It is difficult to conclude that his unflattering depictions of women were derived simply from misogynist attitude. Readers can see that not only has the depiction of women changed, but also that of the male lover. Donne's Elegies can be understood as a revelation and testimony of male desire and fantasy upon gender, love, politics, war, and society, rather than as superficial misogynist testimony upon women. Donne's Elegies allow a deeper and more unadulterated understanding of the human nature with a portrayal of the transitional 16th century England.
