What does the last part of the following quote mean 'No man is an island unto himself every man is a part of the whole Therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls it tolls for thee'?
"any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."This is from Meditation #17 by John Donne and quoted most famously in Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls. Basically this is about the interconnectedness of mankind. When any person dies, it makes me lesser because I am connected to all others. Therefore, one should never wonder for whom the (funeral) bell tolls. Any death is your own death, so the bell is tolling for you.
Why does Donne say the tolling bell applies to him as well as to others?
In his poem "For Whom the Bell Tolls," Donne suggests that the tolling bell, which traditionally signifies a death in the community, applies to everyone because each person is interconnected and part of a greater whole. He emphasizes the universal experience of mortality and the idea that each death diminishes us all in some way.
