the conscious decision to not follow ones
conscience and therefore suffer the...

purpose, symbolism, characters and mentors, and in
attitude toward the world. An analysis of each of
these elements in both allegories will provide an
interesting comparison. Dante uses allegory to
relate the sinners punishment to his sin, while
Plato uses allegory to discuss ignorance and
knowledge. Dantes Inferno describes the descent
through Hell from the upper level of the

John Donne Wife Death

Throughout the writings of John Donne, many
different influences were used to get his point
across. None of these was used more often than the
influence of death. Regardless of the overall
subject of a poem, odds are death has been tied in
as a theme. Perhaps John Donne s obsession with
death comes from the fact that his era was one of
aging and decline. Many people were dying of
illness and plague, and many people were
predicting the end of the world, and preparing for
Judgment Day. It was thro...
