Answer 1

Answer:

Hi Andrew Dickson explores John Donne's fascination with death as a literary, philosophical and emotional subject, and examines its presence in his poetry and treatises.

Even by the standards of his time, John Donne’s writings are death-obsessed. Poem after poem is haunted by the theme of mortality and many of his letters and prose works explore the subject. Likewise, his late sermons and religious texts grapple with that biggest question of all – what really happens to us when we die?In part this was a personal obsession: Donne once wrote that he had a ‘sickely inclination’ and made it clear that he had pondered suicide.
