“No Man Is An Island” by John Donne is a short poem beautifully connected all the human beings and stating them as one. In this poem the poets speak about humanity stating that a human being when isolated from others do not thrive.
A human being living alone is like a person living in an isolated island. In order to be an island, a man would have to be cut off and isolated from the rest of mankind. Man is born to live his life with others, he cannot grow in isolation. Donne feels that all mankind is of one author, and is one book. Thus, death of a man doesn’t mean an end of a chapter in the book; it means that chapter is translated into a better language.
Man is a social animal, we do not see it, but what happens to one person happens to everyone. Each person’s existence affects the existence of another person. Like when a person is angry, his anger affects his relation with others.
Thus, an existence of a person not only affects himself but it also affects those living with him. There is no such thing as a wholly isolated individual. Only death can isolate a person from another, but even in case of death, he person is remembered by his loved ones and thus he remains alive in their hearts.
