초록
The main purpose of this paper is to scrutinize how John Donne’s Death’s Duel features his keen investigations into human mortality and wriggle with man’s limitation of overcoming and liberating from its boundary. A number of textual evidences in this work, the author’s last sermon, epitomizes the recurring motifs of the manifold deaths of human beings. They also delineate his persistent contemplations on the unfathomable actualities of the paradoxical facets of man’s mortality. On the basis of his literary motto, Psalm 68, Donne establishes who is able to preside over the problem of man’s demolition and freedom from it. He then propounds his meditations on the prominent way of combating the seemingly irresolvable bounds through mental and spiritual reactions. Indeed, Donne’s unswerving concern with such unavoidable sides of human mortality vigorously proceeds to unfurl and get over his deeply ingrained sense of sin and fear of man’s inevitable culmination in this world.
Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to scrutinize how John Donne’s Death’s Duel features his keen investigations into human mortality and wriggle with man’s limitation of overcoming and liberating from its boundary. A number of textual evidences in this work, the author’s last sermon, epitomizes the recurring motifs of the manifold deaths of human beings. They also delineate his persistent contemplations on the unfathomable actualities of the paradoxical facets of man’s mortality. On the basis of his literary motto, Psalm 68, Donne establishes who is able to preside over the problem of man’s demolition and freedom from it. He then propounds his meditations on the prominent way of combating the seemingly irresolvable bounds through mental and spiritual reactions. Indeed, Donne’s unswerving concern with such unavoidable sides of human mortality vigorously proceeds to unfurl and get over his deeply ingrained sense of sin and fear of man’s inevitable culmination in this world.
