Ambiguity of the Concept of Death a Comparison of ÂDo Not...

Who does not cower in fear upon the thought of death? Almost everybody does! However, people have differing views on the abstract idea of dying. In examining the poem Because I Could Not Stop For Death? by Emily Dickinson and Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night? by Dylan Thomas, it is evident that the poets use contrasting and comparative techniques in their unique presentations of the concept of death. In the poem Because I Could Not Stop For Death? Emily Dickinson presents the idea of acceptance of death, whereas in the poem Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night? Dylan Thomas presents the idea of refusal and opposition to death. Despite the differences in theme, these two poets both use similar figurative language devices, such as†¦show more content†¦Thomas provides examples of wise, good, wild and grave men to extend his idea of rejection to death. For example, wise men? should not accept death so easily until their words and actions have forked lightning? even though they understand the inevitability of death; grave men? who are so close to death should definitely not give in to death for they see the happiness in life (Blind eyes could blaze like meteors). By providing these four examples, Thomas pleads his father to curse? him with his fierce tears? and fight against death. Although both of the poems consist of death, the attitude and beliefs are evidently different. The theme for Because I Could Not Stop For Death?is the acceptance of death whereas the theme for Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night?is the refusal of death. Despite thematic differences between these poems, the uses of figurative devices to present their themes have some similarities. Poets often use figurative language to deepen and expand the meaning of their poems. Some of the figurative devices that Dickinson uses in her poem are imagery and personification. At the start of the poem, Death? is being personified as the speakers fianc?(since the speaker wears her gossamer go wn?) who kindly stopped for me [the speaker]?. Then in stanza 4, the first line, the setting sun? is being described as if it were a human who passed [es] us [speaker and Death]?. The effective use of personification provokes extensive thoughtShow MoreRelatedLogical Reasoning189930 Words   |  760 PagesStephanie Tucker, California State University Sacramento.
