Is a paradox that is represented in these lines

"Holy Sonnets: Batter my Heart" is a poem that was written by John Donne during his lifetime, 1572 - 1631. An English poet, Donne was not recognized during his time as a writer, and his poems were taken by critics as crude and even vulgar, because of the expressions he used. A preacher, by nature, Donne was not highly appreciated until much later, after his death.

In this particular excerpt from the poem "Holy Sonnets: Batter my Heart", Donne is almost praying to God, asking him to use force to change him, as a man, because he has gone down the wrong path and he needs God´s violent actions to set him straight again. This is why, the correct answer here is D: the speaker implores God to use violence to break him so that he can be made new.

i don't really know the circumstances. i personally think not due to it not being fair for all parties and how hated i'd become if i thought it was a good thing.
