“The Day of Doom” by Michael Wigglesworth uses many different types of descriptions to try and convince sinners to repent and come to Christ or if they were already believers staying on the right path. This reminds me of modern novels and movies that are aimed at convicting sinners or strengthening the faith of believers. The Left Behind book series is one that is brought to mind. I also think of movies such as Fire Proof and Facing the Giants. The Left Behind series looks at life on Earth after

“The Day of Doom” by Michael Wigglesworth The Day of Doom is not just any ordinary poem. Michael Wigglesworth, the poet, wrote this poem in such a way that the reader in the end should ask themselves this question, what must I do to be saved? The words of each stanza are crafted in ordinance with scriptures of the Bible. “The Puritans believed that the Bible was God’s true law, and that it provided a plan for living” (Kizer).

Edward Taylor was a poet, pastor, and a physician. His birthday is unknown, but he was born in 1642. Also he is from Puritan New England. He was raised in Leicestershire near Coventry.

When he moved to America in 1668, he was in his mid-20s and had already begun his career in the ministry. He was well educated and was one of four speakers at his

“O Hell!” Satan’s opening exclamation of frustration immediately alerts readers to Satan’s state of mind. As Satan gazes on Adam and Eve, he is struck by their blissful state, which sends him into a spiral of confusion as he slightly reconsiders his plan to destroy them. To himself, Satan addresses the pair; he begins regretful and with pity for Adam and Eve. He later shifts in tone to vengeful, envious, and angry.

A few years prior to writing Paradise Lost, John Milton lost his vision. In fact, Milton does not hide the reality that his “eyes, that roll in vain…find no dawn”(Paradise Lost, 3.22-23). The light that Milton refers to, however, is not just physical, but it is also spiritual. There is a third type of blindness that Milton addresses, blindness from knowledge. Milton is concerned with this form of blindness in a number of works, perhaps most notably Areopagitica. The acquisition of knowledge plays
