Do Not Go Into That Good Night, By Dylan Thomas

Improved Essays
Observation:

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

    Language is more than a method of purely transferring interpretation; it can also transfer emotion. Whereas voice involves cadence, body assertion, and even facial articulation, the words written on a page are compelled to demonstrate more than just what is being told through a series of other strategies and manners usually implanted in the writer’s voice. Both the memoirs I Have Lived a Thousand Years by Livia Bitton-Jackson, and Night by Elie Wiesel, transfer the nature of oppression through certain methods of voice, particularly syntax and tone.…

    Throughout the poem, Thomas euphemises the idea of death as much as possible, however, near the very end of the poem, for the first and only time he mentions death outright by saying “Grave men, near death”. This is a clear display of his outrage, which has slowly been increasing through the poem. At this point his rage is at it’s peak and in this moment of madness he exclaims what all the poems true point is except this time not with a euphemism. This shows he is putting less thought into his words creating a feeling of it being rushed, therefore a feeling of panic is created for the…

    I say this not because I cannot choose but because both poets have values points and both pieces are opinions and with an opinion there is never a right or wrong. We should rage against the dying light for the joys of life are worth fighting for. We can’t answer the question of why must we die but we should want to live as long as we can. Not only for ourselves but for those around us as well. Accepting the faith of death also in a twisted way should be a joy, because of what you leave, the good and the bad.…

    Margaret Atwood’s “Flowers” and Dylan Thomas’s “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night” are similar in which both themes revolve around the death of a father. Both authors use symbols to strength what they are trying to say. For example, in Atwood’s poem, she compares the dying of her father to dying flowers. When she talks about cutting the dead stems of the flowers, she writes, “... [I] put them in a jar I brought from home, because they don’t have vases in this hotel for the ill.”…

    The first 8 out of the 14 lines within the poem identify with representing religion, “His spirit is smoke ascended to high heaven./His father, by the cruelest way of pain... The awful sin remained still unforgiven./All night a bright and solitary star/(Perchance the one that ever guided him,/Yet gave him up at last to Fate's wild whim)... ”(McKay n.p.). The first line speaks of his soul ascending to heaven which can already be seen from a religious standpoint, the second talks about his father which can be related to the holy trinity in Christian religion as well as heaven was in the first line. It also mentions an awful sin which means the men who “have no remorse for their doings” are the ones who “remained still unforgiven”(Poetry Foundation n.a.).…

    Many poets are very different and some are revolutionary. Almost all poets before Whitman wrote with a pattern in their poetry, but Whitman changed that and became the father of free verse poetry. In Dickinson 's poetry it reflects her loneliness in her life and most of the people in her poetry are in a state of want. These poets are very different and have really changed the direction of poetry over time. Whitman and Dickinson poems are similar yet very different at the same time.…

    “Do not go gentle into that good night/ Old age should burn and rave at close of day/Rage, rage, against the dying of the light.” This is to say that, essentially, one should not go down without a fight. The first and last lines of the stanza are the lines that get repeated throughout the poem, and they summarize Thomas’s message well. Additionally, they offer a bit of nature imagery, by comparing death to night and life to light.…
