Speech on John Donne's religious and love poetry

idea that in Donne’s poetry one is influential over the other. Generally, content relies on the techniques being employed, but techniques would be ineffective without the result of useful content. The critical readings of Helen Gardner and M.E. Rickey claim some similar as well as different insights regarding this notion.

A tendency that can be followed in Donne’s work is his exploration of ‘metaphysical’ emotions conveyed by the persona. In view of the fact that love results in the complex range of experiences that need to be articulated, Donne may have expanded his content in some poems in order to express exactly what he feels. The theme of love is relevant in his poem of “The Sunne Rising”,

The aggressive as well as melodramatic tone as seen in “The Sunne Rising” is immediately transformed to a voice of despair and insecurity in “Batter My Heart”

“Batter my heart, three-personed God; for you

As yet knock, breathe, shine and seek to mend”

But is captived, and proves weak or untrue”
