The Puritan life, though simple, required both a mental and spiritual diligence that tested even the most faithful of followers. Although common practice involved sweeping religious struggles under the rug, few writers wrote courageously about their religious doubts and their efforts to become better Puritans. Author Anne Bradstreet shows in her work "Here Follows Some Verse upon the Burning of Our House, July 10th, 1666" that religious struggles are often faced by Puritans and it takes brave souls to admit their difficult time with their religion . This poem shows a woman facing a religious crisis and how, even though she struggles, her faith ultimately remains strong. Bradstreet's poem shows a crisis of faith in its content and reflects his struggle with Puritan beliefs, however, the form and structure of the poem reflects his internal religious solidarity. The extreme crisis that Bradstreet goes through losing his house and possessions would be harmful to any human being. The content of this poem reflects the doubts, thought process, and battle that Bradstreet had with his faith during this crisis. An example of Bradstreet showing his pain throughout the poem would be the following: “Then, walking out, I saw a space/The flame consumed my dwelling/And when I could look no more,/I blessed His name that gave and took, ” (Bradstreet 11-14). This quote exemplifies Bradstreet's loss especially with the phrase “and when I could no longer look” (14). This quote indicates Bradstreet's immense pain to the point that his eyes cannot discover that is that causes her pain. Another example of the pain Bradstreet is going through is the following: “Here was that trunk, and there that trunk, / There lay that store I… in the center of the paper… f how the form of the poem reflects the author's strong inner faith. It is not uncommon in the world of writing to use poetic form to reflect the inner meaning Bradstreet has done an exemplary job of showing the reader a dubious poetic content and form consolidated his faith. In the period in which this poem was written, having doubts in one's faith was considered taboo to talk about. Bradstreet showed his courageous and courageous attitude when he decided to write by questioning his own beliefs. Even though she wrote this poem for herself, the courageous act of acknowledging her own doubts spoke for those Puritans who did not have the courage to do so. Because she had a strong poetic form that reflected her faith, this allowed her to write her doubts in a better light. The poem shows that even in times of external danger, inner strength is what helps a person prevail.
