This poetry ruthlessly dismantles the common perception of death as a strong tyrant. The poet offers an unusual perspective on death. Donne expresses his opinion that Death should not be proud of itself by addressing the poem to it. Even though it has been labeled forceful and frightening, death is neither. It cannot influence the soul, which is eternal.
