An analysis of "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" written by Dylan Thomas1. In the poem “Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night” by Dylan Thomas, the speaker is the person who talks about his father's death. The speaker also talks about four different types of men: wise men, good men, wild men, serious men. These four types of men also represent his father's personality. The speaker believes that the best time to die is at sunset because there is still sunlight, which to him could mean that death is not the end but only the beginning of another life. It also describes how these men should be honored for their work instead of allowing themselves to be taken over by obscurity. For him, “good night” represents death; a dream in which these men would never see the light again. On the contrary, the “light” and the “sun” represent life and the joy of living for the speaker. The way the author writes the poem is as if the speaker is probably trying to avoid his. The author uses symbolism to describe life and death. He uses light to represent life when he writes “Anger, anger against the death of light”. (Line 3), he is trying to say that the father will not die if he remains in the light; the light that will keep alive. When the writer says, “Be not kind into that good night” (line 1); refers to the father not to give up or die without fighting the darkness or not to let the darkness take him easily. The word “night” represents a time when a person closes their eyes to rest, but in this context it represents a dream in which the father will never return. The word “good” represents the hope for his father to find peace. When the speaker says, “Old age should burn and rave at the end of the day” (line 2), he means that as people grow older, their fear of dying becomes greater. The feeling of fear is also represented by the night, which means that the elderly go to bed at night hoping to see the light grow old next
