When Thomas writes, “Old age should burn and rave at close of day,” is his way of saying that death should not be given in to without a fight. Thomas’s choice of two similar words in “rage” and “rave” connotes a certain lack of control and almost irrational resistance to what comes to everyone. That being said, Thomas argues that resisting is preferable to that of simply waiting for death to come. Written for his father, Thomas’s opening…

Do not go gentle into that good night. Here, it can be understood that Thomas is sad for his father’s nearing death, but encouraging him to curse him. The author believes to be cursed by his father would reveal any sign of rage, fire and therefore life he may still have despite his dying condition; from that, possibly reflecting the strength his father held while he was living.

Death; Death is a short simple word that holds an abundance of meaning. Everyone has felt deaths powerful, heart-wrenching grip and some have a difference of opinion on death. Many believe death is the beginning of a new life and others believe it is the end of a life. William Cullen Bryant, and Dylan Thomas have rather contrasting views on death, and this is primarily due to differences in their lives as well as their religion.

The poem ‘Do not go gentle into the good night’ explains what a man is going through as he watches his father die, and what he wishes to tell him. To say ‘not go gentle into the good night’ is explaining how to die with purpose, to not simply just die, but to die with meaning. Dylan Thomas used strong words and sentence structure to get his point across and show a powerful theme. When I first saw the title ‘Do not go gentle into the good night’ I thought it meant fighting till the end. I…
