Death , Be not Proud

In this poem , poet addresses the death . saying that there is no need for death to be proud through  some people call it very powerful nor dangerous . it neither powerful nor dangerous. Death believes that even throws those people do not die at all . Death has no capacity to kill poet . This how Donne challenges the death , the picture of death is nothing but sleep and rest.

“Die not , poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me from rest and sleep, which but thy picture.”

Donne  considered his  sonnet  saying that death need not become Proud. This life is a sleep in the sense that it is full of illusion but death liberate  us from that illusion and we wake up forever. Donne believes that if death is accepted with this spirit  there is no any death itself die
