The poem I read was “Do Not Go into that Good Night” by Dylan Thomas. It is about the narrator’s dying father and how he’s telling him to keep fighting for more time. “Death, Be Not Proud” by John Donne is about the narrator who is dying insulting death and stating that a Christian lives on forever. Both of these poems rhymed. The poem by Dylan Thomas uses the word “rage” which means fighting. In the story it states, “Rage, rage against the dying of the light” (Thomas 772). In both works, both the characters are fighting against death.
Interpretation:
The theme of both of theses poems is death. In these poems, the authors refer to death as something you can try to fight off and escape. In the poem by Thomas
