    Core Comparison of Religious Stance on Death


    John Donne in Death, Be Not Proud:
    Donne’s defiant attitude towards death is rooted in Christian resurrection theology. He labels death as a slave to fate, chance, war and sickness, and argues that death is only a short sleep for the soul: after this temporary rest, the Christian soul will gain eternal life through resurrection, so death itself will finally die. His defiance is not atheistic rebellion, but a bold declaration of faith that religious salvation overcomes bodily death.


    Su Shi’s elegy for his wife (Jiangchengzi·Ten Years of Life and Death):
    Su Shi’s reflection on death is shaped by traditional Chinese secular Confucian-Taoist cosmology: there is no doctrine of personal resurrection. He accepts the inherent separation of life and death, and his longing focuses entirely on secular mortal attachment to the deceased, rather than expectation of afterlife reunion. He can only pin his fleeting hope on meeting again in dreams in this life, with a quiet, bittersweet acceptance of mortal separation, rather than a defiance of death itself.
