The Good-Morrow
by John Donne

In "The Good-Morrow" by John Donne, he uses diction to emphasize the discovery of his true love. A combination of the diction and rhyme scheme used in this poem, both highlight his thoughts and feelings towards his true love. The dictions Donne uses also depicts the narrator's tone in regards to the past without his love, the present and the future with his love. This poem and the techniques Donne uses tell the passion and spiritual connection that the speaker has towards his love.
John Donne chooses to use diction as means of showing how his life and feelings have changed now that the speaker has found his one true love, who is all that he will ever need. In the first stanza, Donne uses words like "weaned" and "childishly" to show how before he found his love, there was no value to his relationships, he simply slept around. This shows how he values this new relationship more than anything ever, as he says, "Which I desired, and got, 'twas but a dream of thee". This identifies the differences between his past and the rest of his life now that he has found love. In the second stanza, chooses to use the words "worlds" and "one" interchangeably, to shw the spiritual closeness he and his love share. He is explaining that now he and his love have become one and can share the same world. In the third stanza, John Donne uses diction to show how passionate the love s between the speaker and his love. It is to such a level that the speaker believes that he and his love's lovewill last forever and will never die, "Love so alike that none do slacken, none can die".
In "The Good-Morrow" by John Donne, he utilizes diction as his way of emphasizing the way the speker feels towards his true love. The speaker feels that his new found love is like never before and he will never need another person in his life. He truly believes that he and his love have become one and can share their lives together forever and their spirits will love even after.
