John Donne / Characteristic Features

Abstract: 5 pages in length. The characteristic features of John Donne's poetry, as they relate to theme, imagery, audience and approach, blend together in an insightful combination of metaphysics, wit, sensuality and contrast. Indeed, Donne projects not just a singular image or approach, even though each individual work of poetry may focus upon a singular theme; rather, he utilizes a subtle combination of temptation and reality. One only has to read a verse or two of any of Donne's poetry to understand that his characteristic features are anything but myopic. The writer discusses characteristic features as they pertain to three of Donne's poem. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
