In Donne’s “death be not proud,” the poet directly addresses death. Similarly, in Michelangelo’s “vatican pieta,” Jesus is dead.<br /> The main difference between these works is that “death be not proud” is a sonnet, while michelangelo’s “vatican pieta” is made out of marble. I suppose one could carve donne’s poem into marble tablets, but he didn’t, so it doesn’t count.<br /> In conclusion, while the pieces are both very similar, they are also quite different.<br /><br />Has to be the best essay I've ever written... (Yes, I did write the assigned essays as well)
