Family situation in john donne

Donne was born into a Roman Catholic family, and his mother was related to Sir Thomas Moore who died heroically. Donne studied in Oxford and Cambridge for several years, then began to study law and lived a secular and erotic life in London. After that, he was sent to work abroad and married his employer, the niece of Sir Thomas Eggleton. From a pragmatic point of view, this marriage is unwise. Donne's career fell into a trough, and the young couple lived a sad and poor life for ten years. At the age of 42, after careful consideration, Donne abandoned his loyalty to his family and accepted the order of the Anglican Church. It was not until he became the dean of St. Paul's Cathedral that he gained popularity and became the most famous priest of his time. The brave young people who wrote love poems earlier have become people who endure God's torture and are always troubled by the thought of death and the attack of disease. He rejected "poetry, my childhood lover" and loved "theology, my middle-aged partner" instead. As time went on, death became more and more intense for him. If you visit the basement of St Paul's Cathedral today, you can also see the statue of Donne, which was made before his death and wrapped in a cloth. When the last moment of life came, Donne imagined a picture at the bedside. He was wrapped in a shroud and his eyes were closed, as if death had befallen him.
