As I don't want to use this like a private diary, I'm going to give everyone who reads this (read, "Merideth and perhaps myself") a look at what happens on a Thursday eventing when I have two essays on metaphysical poetry due the next day:

The main similarity between Donne’s “Death be not proud” and Michelangelo’s “vatican pieta” is the fact that they’re both about death. In Donne’s “death be not proud,” the poet directly addresses death. Similarly, in Michelangelo’s “vatican pieta,” Jesus is dead.
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.
In conclusion, while the pieces are both very similar, they are also quite different.

Has to be the best essay I've ever written... (Yes, I did write the assigned essays as well)
