: i have a few questions regarding the writing of john donnne, in meditation 17
: 1)what is donne referring to at the beginning of the poem, regarding the bells that are tolling?
: 2) donne builds up very carefully to the famous sentance: "no man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent. A part of the main."
: a) what other images does he use in the meditation to express the idea that human beings do not exist in isolation, that everyone is a part of common humanity?
: b) how is this idea related to the theme of the tolling of the bell, summarized in "..never send to know for whom the bell tolls: it tolls for thee"?
: if u could help me answer these questions i would really appreciate it, these are the only questions i didn't get out of the 32!
