초록
John Donne wrote poetry in a communicative mode of his time by awakening cultural realities in the way of using a conversation style. Much of Donne’s poetry was interested in the art of rhetoric provoking laughter in his readers by deliberately utilizing conventional devices in his oral-styled poetry of love and ‘self-annihilation.’ His poetry is not only trying to be clever in dealing with language, but often trying to be funny in mocking cultural realities: killing oneself is not “a particularly heinous crime.” With “The Canonization” and “The Flea,” the poem “Confined Love” is a typical example showing self-annihilation for love, like Christ himself committed suicide, a mysterious sense of human soul and body as “Canoniz’d for Love” as if to be the religion of love.
Abstract
John Donne wrote poetry in a communicative mode of his time by awakening cultural realities in the way of using a conversation style. Much of Donne’s poetry was interested in the art of rhetoric provoking laughter in his readers by deliberately utilizing conventional devices in his oral-styled poetry of love and ‘self-annihilation.’ His poetry is not only trying to be clever in dealing with language, but often trying to be funny in mocking cultural realities: killing oneself is not “a particularly heinous crime.” With “The Canonization” and “The Flea,” the poem “Confined Love” is a typical example showing self-annihilation for love, like Christ himself committed suicide, a mysterious sense of human soul and body as “Canoniz’d for Love” as if to be the religion of love.
