How does Herbert's use of Echo in his poem Heaven differ from that of the myth?
Wiki User
∙ 9y ago
Herbert uses Echo in "Heaven" to symbolize the reverberation of divine truth and the endless repetition of God's promises. In the myth, Echo is punished for her deceitful ways and is only able to repeat the words of others. Herbert's interpretation focuses on the transformative power of echoing divine truths rather than the punishment of deceit.
