I have been reading John Dryden’s poems for my English class and he is so doom and gloom, constantly talking about judgement day, how justice will be passed who don’t follow the rulers or God. His poems seem full of vengeance and they are depressing, because is he of the Puritan faith.
John Bunyan is similar to John Dryden’s
writing, but a little lighter. He focuses
on God’s wrath, but he also writes about God’s love. Bunyan grew up poor and saw both sides of God
equally, while Dryden grew up rich.
Samuel Butler is a very visual writer. He takes you through the scene is trying to
set.
John Wilmot is an anarchist, antireligious, and the most risqué out of the four authors. His writing is full of satire and not full of
doom. He was brave for questioning authority
and making fun of people in charge.
