In the dialogue between the soul and body this quote from the body displays the constant struggle the soul and body face when attempting to understand purpose individually. This highlights hope as force that needs to be realized, “the cramp of hope” portrays hope as both painful and binding. While this hope is causing both the body and soul suffering it is the only thing that will realize their purpose, “joys peaceful madness” speaks to the upsetting struggle that both the body and mind endure to form this union. This imagery of paradox aligns with the theme of hope in unity, revealing that hope does not erase the issues but comforts you in them allowing for new perspectives on current situations that allow for positive emotions. Creating a balance by opposing forces, through this lens the body and soul can always hate each other for what they dont understand but the hope held in their permanent unity gives them the tools to allow them to understand a greater purpose.
