Attempt a critical appreciation of the poem. / Would you
agree with the view that ‘No Coward Soul is Mine’ presents a personal solution
to the problem of faith?
Emily Bronte's "No Coward Soul Is Mine" was
written in order to reach out and touch faith so to speak. Death, faith, and
passion were things that did not run scarce in Emily Bronte's life and with
that "No Coward Soul Is Mine" was inspired and written. Writing to
cope with the pain of growing up, neglected and uneducated Bronte reaches out
to God to fill her wounds and give her a life after life. Within "No
Coward Soul Is Mine", Bronte whole heartedly reveals her views on God
through the poem's theme, provides descriptions of her interpretation of God
himself as a character, allows the reader to illustrate what she sees through
nature, and also pulls the readers' attention with her use of passionate and
powerful words while setting the tone of the poem.
In "No Coward Soul Is Mine", the main purpose
for Bronte's use of first person is to express her thoughts, beliefs, and views
on God and how other things relate back to him like faith and death
(Fernández). Emily's beliefs are that God is everywhere and is the source of
everything. She wants to show the world that God is her life and reason to live
and does so in her own way. Her thoughts are brilliantly used in the form of
nature, providing unique descriptions of nature to depict what God is like.
Bronte's beliefs are shared and expressed through her metaphoric use of faith
throughout the poem, whether it is the breath she breathes, or her never ending
love and adoration for God. Her view on God is moving and full of enthusiasm
keeping the reader listening and wanting more of Bronte's thoughts. In her very
first line of the poem, where she states, "No coward soul is mine"
(Bronte, p. 948), she wants to prove to everyone that she isn't a coward
through God and never will be, and by making this quote the title enforces its
importance to represent her as a strong and independent woman with the partnership
of God. "No Coward Soul Is Mine" is also a very affectionate and
emotional poem that Bronte allows the reader to feel and react to. Bronte
allows the reader to effectively view her morals and values. The poem permits
the reader to interact with and relate to where the author is coming from in an
easy perspective. In addition, the poem represents a sense of reflection of
Bronte herself and opens up her opinions and beliefs to the reader while also
depicting her relationship with God. Her thoughts are obvious since the
portrayed image of her character of God is very descriptive and personal, which
is why it was written in the first-person.............................
