초록
The main purpose of this article is to examine how Chapter 6 of John Donne’s Devotions upon Emergent Occasions features the author’s keen observations into his internal disquietude caused by fear. Donne’s diagnosis of the dread is associated with his inquisitive attitude toward such haunting phenomena of inner anxiety. Donne’s broad range of conceiving the significance of fear links with his recognition of its paradoxical aspects, which brings about self-diagnosis and discovery based on his diverse biblical accounts. The combined concepts of fear and inquest affect his spiritual arousal to overcome the irresolvable predicament of his inner phenomena. Donne’s reliance on the Almighty becomes one of his solutions to the depressing facet of human weakness, which tends to be wavered by internal and external ambiences. Devotions upon Emergent Occasions VI is indeed charged with the writer’s dynamic development of three unified sub-sections, namely contemplation, inquiry, and prayer to God, in dealing with the problem of human dread necessitated by physical infirmity and its consequential reverberations.
