Consider
Emily Brontë's 'No Coward Soul of
Mine'
as a devotional poem. /No Coward Soul is Mine is a poem about death and
parting. Justify the statement./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..............................
