You can have a dozen of options; for instance, you can tacle 1- the metaphysicality of the poem 2- experimentations on form and subject matter 3- the language of paradox, wit and argument Posted by sparrow17 on Mar 12, 2009. |

Are you feeling a bit controversial? How about this one: In his "Holy Sonnet 14," John Donne uses sexual imagery to portray his seduction by both heaven and hell. Obviously, it's hard to ignore the terms that Donne uses that are unbelievably sexual. All you need do is look at the verbs Donne uses throughout his sonnet some of which are as follows: "breathe," "rise," "stand," "o'erthow," "bend," "force, to break, blow, burn," "betrothed," "divorce," "take me to You," "imprison," "enthral," and "ravish." Come ON. Who doesn't love Donne's sexual frustration!?! Posted by ms-charleston-yawp on Mar 12, 2009. |
