Step-by-step explanation:

The speaker of the passage "But I shall rise victorious, and subdue / My vanquisher, spoiled of his vaunted spoil; / Death his death's wound shall then receive, and stoop / Inglorious, of his mortal sting disarmed" is a character who anticipates overcoming Death itself. This passage resonates with the themes of victory over death and the defiance of fate. It is suggestive of the Christian narrative of resurrection, where death is ultimately conquered and rendered powerless.
