Three Person'd God
In the poem Batter my Heart Three Person's God by John Donne, it has many themes. One of the themes I saw in the poem was about the Holy Trinity and God. It talks about how the speaker needs God to be there for him. He also talks about wanting to be on a good relationship with God. He compares God to being his enemy because of their current relationship. "But am betroth'd unto your enemie" (Donne, 10). The poem also has another theme of unworthiness. The previous quote also goes along with this idea of remorse. One could interpret this quote saying that he is betroth'd to God's enemy: the devil. Since he is betrothed to him, he is unworthy to come back to God and have a good relationship with him.
