Answer 1

This question is about John Donne's poem "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning." After reading the poem, we can say that the speaker in it is a:

E. lover who must leave on a journey.

What is the poem about?

• The poem "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning" is a farewell between two lovers. Taking history into consideration, it is most likely Donne's farewell to his wife Anne before he went on a journey.

• Therefore, the speaker would be Donne himself. Even though he has to leave, he does not wish to be sad. He tells the woman he loves that their spiritual bond is too strong for them to mourn the other's absence.

• With the information above in mind, we can choose letter E as the best option.
