Bacon goes on to qualify several emotions with the entity of death. They are the admirers of death. He says that revenge feels triumphant in death (as the seeker kills his object of vengeance). Death is full of spite for the emotion of love as it causes separation between the loved ones.Critical Appreciation: Bacon’s essays reflect the style of brevity and wit. His writing is direct and to the point, complete in sense and avoiding too much detail. Bacon has a systematic style, moves rationally from one point to another. The subject matters and ideas of his essays are based on real life.Of Delay Critical Appreciation: Bacon wrote this essay with the interest to considerate the reasoning of deliberate delay. Though he alludes to delay with danger, however, he admits the point that some circumstances or states of affairs can be observed with changed significance and priority and evaluate the strength of the delay.
Therefore Bacon concludes his essay with didacticism by giving a tinge of Christian morality. The essay is rich in manner and matter. This is a council, civil and moral and should be read slowly to understand the lucid and condensed prose style of Bacon.THE ESSAYS (published 1601) Francis Bacon Contents: Of Truth Of Death Of Unity in Religion Of Revenge Of Adversity Of Simulation and Dissimulation Of Parents and Children Of Marriage and Single Life Of Envy Of Love Of Great Place Of Boldness Of Goodness and Goodness of Nature Of Nobility Of Seditions and Troubles Of Atheism Of Superstition.
