The correct answer is 4: The speaker implores God to use violence to break him so that he can be made new.

In this Holy Poem 14, “Batter my Heart”, by John Donne, the poet is addressing God directly and he is implying that the usual way God enters into everybody’s life is not enough for the poet. The poet does not need gentle manners: to knock, to shine, to mend.

On the other hand, in order to let God get into his life, he needs a tough hand: to force, to brake, to blow and burn. This is likely because the poet might consider his soul and heart are too corrupt for such gentle ways.

The paradox, or apparently contradictory idea, here is to attach God such a violent behavior.

Answer:

4: The speaker implores God to use violence to break him so that he can be made new

Explanation:

Choice 1 is not correct because the speaker does not refer to three Gods. He refers to the Trinity, which is the unity of God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and the third person God the Holy Spirit.

Choice 2 is not correct either because the speaker is not weak and can stand on his own; however, he wants to be battered by God so that he could prove his strength and rise again and, thus, be "made new" by God.

Choice 3 is also wrong because God is not violent or cruel. It is the speaker himself who asks God to use violence: "Batter my heart..."

Thus, only the last choice can be correct.

<span>The Wife of Bath's tale was written to show the emerging role of women in the Middle Ages. They were moving from being submissive, almost property, to sovereign women with strong opinions and independence. These characteristics were, at the time, only appreciated in men and were frowned on in women. This tale shows that a woman can be a woman and still be independent, strong, and sovereign.</span>
