The Hypocrite: A Poem

By Bingham Thoburn Wilson

Book Overview

The Hypocrite is a poem written by Bingham Thoburn Wilson, which explores the theme of hypocrisy. The poem is a scathing critique of those who profess to be virtuous and moral, but who in reality, are deceitful and insincere. The poem is divided into several stanzas, each of which presents a different aspect of the hypocrite's character.The first stanza introduces the idea of the hypocrite as someone who wears a mask, hiding their true intentions and feelings from the world. The second stanza delves deeper into the hypocrite's psyche, describing the inner turmoil and conflict that they experience as they struggle to maintain their facade.The third stanza is perhaps the most damning of all, as it exposes the hypocrisy of those who claim to be religious or spiritual, but who do not practice what they preach. The fourth stanza offers a glimmer of hope, suggesting that the hypocrite can change their ways and become a better person, but only if they are willing to confront their own shortcomings and be honest with themselves.Overall, The Hypocrite is a powerful and thought-provoking poem that challenges readers to examine their own behavior and motivations. It is a timeless work that continues to resonate with audiences today, as hypocrisy remains a pervasive problem in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
