1. Personification: It is the process of giving non-human objects human characteristics. Death is personified by Donne throughout the poem, which argues that it shouldn’t be arrogant. A characteristic of humans is pride. As a result, death is endowed with the human trait of feeling and emotion.
2. Metaphor: It is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. Three metaphors can be found in this poem. “Death, be not proud,” which is the first line, uses the first. Death is here compared to a haughty guy. The tenth line, “Thou art slave to fate,” uses the second. In the final line of a lengthy metaphor, death is compared to an improbable or unreal object.
3. Alliteration: It occurs when the same consonant sounds appear more than once in the same lines of poetry. Examples include the use of the /th/ sound in “And better than thy stroke; why swell’st thou then” and the /m/ sound in “Much pleasure; therefore, from thee much more must flow.”

The poem ‘The Good Morrow’ by John Donne is a metaphysical love poem in nature. Here he emphasizes the new chapter of their relationship. He uses the metaphor of the seven sleepers who were slept for more than 100 years in a hid out, in which he finds the similarity in their relationship as they were slept for years. As if their feelings have not been appropriate. They indulged themselves in country pleasures. As their love was only physical but not from the inner core of heart .
But in the second stanza, the poet finds the true awakening. After a long slumber, their souls awakened only to mingle and merge with each other souls originating from the same source displays a maddening thirst of assimilation into each other. They are out of fear. They find a whole world in their own ‘little room’. They find each other as they are the two halfs of their own world of love. Their love in truly transformed from physical to platonic love.
The title of the poem truly discloses the past and present state of the speaker and his lady love’s spiritual love. Here it plays the appropriate role for justification the metaphysical or Platonic love.
