The monks insert Christian values and beliefs which impact the themes of the work. “The Seafarer” is one of these pieces. The author highlights his travels at sea and how…

In the beginning of the story God is upset with the people on Earth because they are living secularly and solely focusing on the materials of the World. From the story it reads: Of ghostly sight the people be so blind, Drowned in sin, they know me not for their God; In worldly riches is all their mind, They fear not my rightwiseness, the sharp rod; My law that I shewed, when I for them died, They forget clean, and shedding of my blood red; I hanged between two, it cannot be denied; To get them…
