greatest fears: mortality. One of the earliest examples is William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, in which Macbeth claims that life is little more than a shadow of impending doom, and that each person merely plays his part until he is no more. Centuries later, Robert Frost incorporates a similar theme on the subject of death in his poem “‘Out, Out -’”.
