Death Be Not Proud by John Donne An Analysis of Donnes Divine Sonnet X In Death be not proud (Divine Sonnet X), Donne turns his rhetorical skills on his greatest poetic adversary - death itself. “Divine Sonnet X” by John Donne is one of his best-known religious poems. It famously begins “Death be not proud” and advances a stream of arguments to prove that man’s greatest fear has no power over him. Apostrophe The opening line, “Death be not proud”, is an apostrophe or address to an abstract figure. Donne favours apostrophes and dramatic monologues, which give an immediacy and urgency to his rhetoric – in his career as a churchman, Donne was a famous preacher, so it’s no surprise that many of his poems sound like dramatic speeches. In rhetorically picking on death, Donne is taking on a big adversary, though not entirely without precedent. There is an echo in the opening of St. Paul’s famous demand in 1Corinthians 15:55, “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” HYPERLINK /url?ct=abgq=/adsense/support/bin/request.py?contact=abg_afcurl=/death-be-not-proud-by-john-donne-a32485hl=enclient=ca-pub-7332027313721357adU=adT=Learn+Italian+in+ItalyadU=www.LifesGreatestQadT=God+Can+Give+You+New+LifeadU=adT=Terraplas+USAadU=www.SilvaLifeSadT=How+to+Do+Meditation%3FadU=/a/adT=Free+Online+Bible+CoursesadU=MyDailyDevotion.ORGadT=MyDailyDevotion.ORGadU=www.berlinbritishschool.deadT=IB+Revision+CoursesadU=/superbookadT=Jesus+for+KidsadU=adT=Study+in+the+UK+in+2011adU=/partnering_with_ctladT=Supply+Chain+LeadershipadU=www.GMATCadT=Largest+GMAT+Site+OnlineadU=adT=Study+in+Ukraine+(Europe)adU=www.BullyingSpeeches.ComadT=Need+a+Bullying+Speech%3Fgl=CNusg=AFQjCNENdblKnXGiazJQ2YXBtHBkFall7AAds by Google HYPERLINK /aclk?sa=Lai=BZcARXevtTvLqKcOEgAKwsoWrDqXrnP4BxfbjzibAjbcBoO8PEAEYASD1rvYBKA04AFD8n8Ho-v____8BYJ250IGQBbIBGmplbWJsb29tZmllbGQuc3VpdGUxMDEuY29tyAEB2gFJaHR0cDovL2plbWJsb29tZmllbGQuc3VpdGUxMDEuY29tL2RlYXRoLWJlLW5vdC1wcm91ZC1ieS1qb2huLWRvbm5lLWEzMjQ4NYACAakC_dVjY-Wl
