Doctor Faustus God
788 wordsRepentance, Dr. Faustus Last Chance For Redemption It can be argued that Doctor Faustus is damned from the moment of conception.

Donne Holy Sonnet
821 wordsAs a young poet, John Donne often utilized metaphors of spiritual bond in many of his Songs and Sonnets in order to explain fleshly love. Once he renounced Catholicism and converted to the Anglican faith (circa 1597), Donne donned a more devotional style of verse, such as in his Holy Sonnets (circa 1609 - 1610), finding parallels to divine love in the carnal union. In many ways, however, his love poems and his religious poems are quite similar, for they both address his personae? s deep-seated f...
