John Donne's sermons constitute an important part of his works, and his famous last sermon, Death's Duel, displays diverse aspects of death which interests him throughout his life. In this sermon based on Psalms 68:20, utilizing numerous rhetorical devices and traditional Western motifs about death, Donne explores death and its often self-contradictory and unfathomable features. Fascinated by the omnipresence of death and its absolute power, the poet presents death as an indispensable part and a universal principle of human lives. He also depicts enthusiastically devastating states of human body after death, delineating mostly posthumous disintegration of bodily integrity and individual identity. In addition, Donne attempts to grasp the religious significances of death and resurrection, a corollary of death in Christian discourse, while he delivers the sermon based on the biblical phrase “issues of death.” He stresses the absolute power of death, taking the Christian God's unique features such as omnipotence for his model. Another crucial aspect of death viewed from the point of Christianity is the incomprehensibility of death because death, especially Christ's death, tests and goes beyond human understanding. Incomprehensibility of death, paradoxically, is also equated with the omnipotence of God who can realize His will through His words. Christ's passion and death described in the latter part of the sermon demonstrates Donne's efforts to emphasize the possibility of appropriating Christ's death. By urging eagerly his audience to imitate Christ in his passion, stressing Christ's voluntary will to die, and focusing on the dead body of Christ, Donne enables his Christian audience to participate in Christ's death, though in limited scale.
