Life and Death in Frosts Stopping by Woods and Thomas Do Not Go Gentl

Life and Death in Frosts Stopping by Woods and Thomas Do non Go Gentle Robert Frosts Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening and Dylan Thomas Do not Go Gentle into That Good Night reflect deeply on two life and finish. Frost interprets dying as watch and wild pansy from a hard and deserving life, whereas Thomas depicts death as an early end to an unfulfilled life. Contrary to Thomass four characters who rage against death because of its ill-timed arrival, Frosts speaker accepts death but is inclined to live for promises therefore both Frost and Thomas choose life over death, but for opposed reasons. Robert Frosts deeply-rooted beliefs in nature influence him to view death positively. Through enticing images of solitude and relaxation and peaceful diction, Frost explains why nature and death coincide. Frost makes mysteries, such as death, resolve into the natural and suddenly the shadowy becomes simple (Nicholl 194). His prize to use darkest evening of the year helps to set the conundrum surrounding death, but the simplicity of the character and the scenery bring death closer to nature suddenly the absolute is brought near, and made almost distinct (Nicholl 194). The individual man encountering woods that are lovely, dark, and deep create a contradiction of feelings that intertwine the mystery and simplicity of death. The dark and deep presage the fears and enigmas of dying. The lovely negates the anxiety and demonstrates the excitement and desire to die. Though death seems shuddery and unknown, it is also wonderful and peaceful to the central character. The traveler appears desiring a rest and death is an enchanting choice. With pleasant images as easy wind and pubescent flake, the man becomes a... ...ngness (Roberts 378). Frost?s traveler is faced with a choice of life or death and chooses life not to attain impressiveness but to keep promises. Thomas?s four kinds of men verify the right to fight against death for life, but only because life is to a fault short and greatness is yet to be achieved. Frost induces that death should be embraced because it is synonymous with sleep, whereas Thomas concludes that death should be contested due to its encumbrance of achievements, but similarly both Frost and Thomas choose the secondary of life to that of death.
