Discuss the paradox in the last two lines of John Donne's sonnet "Death be not proud".

In the poem, John Donne personifies death and addresses this “person,” using the poetic device called “apostrophe.” Donne throughout contrasts the mortal person and the immortal soul, using several paradoxes before arriving at the final one.

Donne was a devout Catholic who later converted to Anglicanism and became an Anglican priest.
