To Whom It May Concern: My name is Mitch Gemignani and through my life I have lived by a code: “Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.
(3.1.162-163) Macbeth recognizes that Banquo will surely go to heaven, yet feels no sympathy for his old friend. When Macbeth hears he has nothing to fear of Macduff from the witches he decides, "Then live, Macduff. What need I fear of thee? But yet I'll make assurance double sure, and take a bond of Fate. Thou shalt not live."
What he’s saying to Creon is he is depriving the dead of another soul by leaving Polynices’ body without burial. Creon has also contained Antigone in her stone tomb and left her there to die, therefore taking someone living and making her potentially wait for death. The Leader explains to Creon, “For mortal men/ there is no escape from the doom we must endure” (1457-1458). The Leader is saying that Creon needs to fight through the pain and suffering because he can’t change fate. How he lives on or dies now is up to the
Essay on ‘An Irish Airman Foresees his Death’ by W. B. Yeats W. B. Yeats presents the persona’s feelings about the war and his impending death as something that fulfils his life ambitions. The Irish poet depicts an idea of his friend selfishly using the war for his own personal gain. The speaker reveals that he ‘balanced all, brought all to mind./ The years to come seemed a waste of breath.’ It is evidenced that the speaker has incorporated all aspects of his life and decided he would rather fulfil his passions and die young, than never fly at all. The speaker’s entrance into the war does not bear any sense of duty, as he is born and resides in Ireland. Yeats does not seem judgemental of the persona’s reasons for entering the war, as reflected by h is decision to write the poem in first person.
Edgar Allen Poe wrote The Raven because his wife, Virginia, was dying of tuberculosis. To me I think the poem is about self torture and about being consumed by the past. The raven symbolizes the protagonist’s subconscious, trying to send him a message that pain and misery in which he has deluded himself into will never go away. It isn’t until nearly at the end of the poem that the
The title is an allusion to the soliloquy in “Macbeth”, where Macbeth soliloquizes about the insignificant, bitter, fragile, and futility of life after he finds that his wife had committed suicide. The boy’s life is compared to the “brief candle”. The “candle” is his life and “brief” indicates how meaningless it is like his own sudden death from the saw where no one was able to change his fate. The first five lines illustrates the setting and the time by using human’s three major sensory perceptions. “Sunset” suggests that this happened in the evening, and “stove-length sticks of wood” suggests this was during a cold season, when wood was needed for the stove.
The connection between poetry and love this poem suggest is that when you fear yourself about death—you will think of everything. Before he die he would like to experience love, as in the last line it says “Till love and fame to nothingness do sink”. 3. Do you see a turn of thought in this sonnet? At the conclusion of the poem, does the speaker resolve his fears?
