Ed...This doesn't really respond to the prompt. Edson does, in fact, show an ongoing interest in Donne's portrayal of death, as does Vivian as a character. If anything, that's the most prominent feature of the Donne poetry included in the play - it's witty and complicated, yes, but it's exclusively focused on death. Consequently, you're telling us things about Donne's poetry, and its role within the play, that any reader should immediately understand. Your job in an essay is to argue something that isn't obvious or trivial - you don't go beyond the obvious here.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16302919444091859459noreply@blogger.com
