虽然约翰·邓恩的诗中不乏对女性不忠和善变的刻画,但是邓恩并非歧视女性,也不是厌女主义者。邓恩在其诗歌中创造的大量有关男女平等思想的隐喻,如空气与天使,两个半球,和圆规双脚等。邓恩创作中的矛盾现象是由其早年的天主教信仰和其仕途雄心的激烈碰撞所导致的。 Although John Dunn’s poetry there is no shortage of portrayal of infidelity and falsity of women, but Dunn is not discriminatory to women, nor is it a misogynistic person. Dunne created in his poems a great deal of metaphor for equality between men and women, such as air and angels, two hemispheres, and compasses. The contradictions in Dunne’s creations were caused by the intense collision of his early Catholic beliefs and his career ambitions.
