In Margaret Edson’s play ‘Wit’ the importance of living a full life has been learnt too late for protagonist, Vivian Bearing. She learns that her values were wrong and it took the simplicity of Susie’s help and care towards her to guide her and teach her the priorities of life.Professor Bearing approaches her life as just being about ‘strength’ although opening up would make her life more enjoyable and fulfilling. In the beginning of the play, Vivian claims to be well-versed in matters of life and death, as she is a scholar of Donne's Holy Sonnets, “which explore mortality in greater depth than any other body of work in the English language.” Sonnets like “Hymn to God, My God in My Sickness” and “Death Be Not Proud” represent Donne's personal explorations of the nature of sin and the redemptive power of discovering God's love. Professor EM Ashford tries to use Donne's language to express to Vivian the necessity of living a full life as well as intellectual curiosity in order to fully understand his poetry. Vivian accepts the truth of this idea only at the very end of life. In the Holy Sonnets, Donne applied his capacious, agile Wit to the larger aspects of the human experience: life, death, and God". Susie than explains that the doctor's like to save lives. Therefore, anything is okay, as long as life continues.
