Metaphors and repetitions in Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good NightIn Dylan Thomas's "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night", the speaker is a son who speaks to his aging father and begs him to fight against death. The son knows that death is the inevitable end of all life, but believes that it should not be given up too easily. Using metaphors, images, and repetition, Thomas reinforces the son's message that aging men see their lives with sudden clarity and realize that they could have lived happier, more productive lives. These men rebel against fate, fighting for more time to make things right. The son uses darkness and the end of the day as metaphors for death. He tells his father that "old age should burn and rave" at death rather than grow dark and pass away peacefully. The comparison between light and dark is also used to create a vivid image of dying men struggling to keep the darkness at bay. “The Death of Light” brings sudden and brief illumination to old people so that they can see their lives clearly when it is too late.....
