What Does Carpe Diem Mean

Decent Essays
Carpe Diem, to me means a lot of things other than seize the day. To me it means live life like there’s no tomorrow, don’t worry about what the future will hold, live in the now, there’s nothing to lose. these are all my examples of Carpe Diem. there are examples of these traits in the poem “ To His Coy Mistress”, for example “My vegetable love should grow/ Vaster than empires, and more slow.” The initial stanza moves at a leisurely metrical pace as the speaker uses extravagant and playful images to persuade the lady of his devotion and his wish that he could love her with the slow thoroughness that she deserves. I my self like to live by the code of Carpe Diem because it keeps you from losing sight of what’s really important not the past or

    The rhetoric in practice project is the second major assignment within the class in which we have to create a work of our own choice and convey some sort of message about Carpe-diem. This project was created in order for us to display our understanding of rhetoric and carpe-diem along with our ability to put them to practice. This project was the first that had me really focus on our course theme of Carpe-diem. Throughout the course we covered many different works that conveyed their own interpretation of Carpe-diem. However there are a few similarities that they all share; that being their negative view of time/future, the lack of faith in a deity or fate, and that the ultimate goal in life is pleasure.…

    The novel In Cold Blood by Truman Capote details the investigation of the seemingly motiveless murders of a small farming town family, the Clutters. In the book, the tone of the writing creates a feeling of emotionless fatalism, emphasizing overall the unfairness of life, as can be seen throughout the novel, especially after the murder of the Clutter family. A fatalistic tone is expressed mainly in the dialogue of the murderous characters Dick and Perry. The unfairness of life is shown through the conflicting suffering of the Clutter family and the suffering in the lives Dick and Perry. It is expressed throughout the narrative, mainly during the middle and later parts of the book, that characters are powerless to do anything other than live…

    In the sections 64-67 of “Phaedo” by Plato from Athens provides argues why a person that has practiced philosophy should be pleased and hopeful when approaching death. The arguments are presented through a dialogue between Socrates and two characters (Cebes and Simmias) while imprisoned, as the three await for the recently ingested poison to take full effect.

    True earnestness in life is a rare thing. Kierkegaard writes in “At a Gravesite” that one must be earnest about death, because “death in earnest gives life force as nothing else does”. (Kierkegaard 83) Watanabe-San, the lead character in the film Ikiru, found himself with a short time to live after years of not doing anything significant. The situation of this “insignificant man” is also described in “At a Gravesite” as a regular man dies without being anyone important.

    I chose the poem “Mientras por Competir con tu Cabello” by Luis de Gongora because its directly related to the theme of carpe diem which urges people to live their lives to the fullest without concerning for their future. The imagery that stands out in this poem says, “no solo en plata o viola troncada se vuelva, mas tu y ello juntamente en tierra, en humo, en polvo, en sombra, en nada.” This imagery demonstrates the whole purpose of this poem which is to tell everyone that their life, youth, and beauty will eventually fade away; therefore, you must enjoy your life, youth and beauty right now because at some point you will become nothing, you will die. We can see that the speaker introduces the theme of death by saying “en nada” which translates…

    The poems ‘Dulce Et Decorum Est’ by Wilfred Owen and ‘Such, Such is Death’ by Charles Hamilton Sorley explore a similar theme about the futility of death and how it relates to war. Owen’s poem is about the latin phrase ‘Dulce Et Decorum Est’ which translates to ‘It is sweet and right.’ This phrase was very popular in war propaganda during World War 1 as a way of recruiting soldiers to join the war by stating that dying for your country is the most honorable way to die. The poem is written in disagreement with this phrase, that in the author’s eyes glorifies war and the deaths that it causes. The very first line of the poem describes soldiers as being like ‘old beggars under sacks,’ in direct contrast with the glorifying title of the pOem.…

    Every person grows older and eventually dies from some natural or unnatural cause. Unfortunately, not one living creature can escape deaths grasps, but they can strive to live every day to the fullest. Dylan Thomas’s poem, “Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night” parallels this thought with its theme. Even when one gets closer to death, they should not let it keep them from bursting with life. The body may weaken, but the mind is a powerful tool to be wielded until the very last breath.…

    Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman were two highly influential poets from America during the 1800’s; critics as being radical as it rejected the traditional conventions of death in a dominantly Puritan state describe their poetry. Both poets were fascinated by the theme death throughout their poetry, although their depictions of death were different, both poets shared the similar concept that death leads to immortality and therefore should be embraced. However, despite sharing similarities in their overall message, both Whitman and Dickinson possessed unique writing styles different from the other.

    To develop a statement about that incorporates all the aspects of my personal moral and ethical code I had to reflect back on my life, my decisions, actions and the manner in which I was raised.
