Analysis Of John Donne s The Wife Of Bath - 981 Words

I will emphasis the people of the British Isles who have been profoundly influenced in their writing by Christianity, by analyzing the specific Christian ideas that are the central points in the following stories Judith, The Wife of Bath’s Prologue, John Donne’s Holy Sonnets, and Christopher Marlowe’s The Tragical History of Dr.Faustus. The Old English poem Judith is based on the Old Testament, like Exodus and Daniel, whose heroes consciously devote their military avidity to the glory of God. There are many points where Christianity has shown an influence in this poem. Judith shows her praise to God on page 145 in, The Longman Anthology of British Literature the Middle Ages when she says, â€Å"Give me, Lord of heaven, victory and truth faith so that with this sword I may hew down this dispenser of violent death.† This quote exemplifies the Christian ideas of having faith and believing in the Lord for strength, courage, and safe deliverance over the temptations of men. When â€Å"the supreme judge† immediately inspires her with the courage she needed, Judith has her hope â€Å"abundantly renewed† in her heart. This story shows that with God anything is possible, and proves that without him she would not have been able to strike Holofernes and would have ultimately been raped by him. Just like in the Poem Judith, the story The Wife of Bath’s main character is a Christian.
