On DONNE’S “HOLY SONNET XIV: BATTER MY HEART”

Answer 1

The Last line is even more Violent

The above answer covers it well.

Answer 2

I would say that the statement that explains the ending of the sonnet is the last line is even more violent than the beginning.
In the beginning, the poet is using either neutral or not so strong words as in the end of the sonnet - there he shows the full emotion he is feeling, by using words such as enthrall, never be free, ravish, etc. I believe that conveys a much stronger message than the beginning.
