The poem includes the repetition of the line “do not go gentle into that good night” several times, a great example as a refrain. The principal idea for this poem is that human beings should resist death with all of their strength before the end. This person is facing old age, and the speaker wants them to “rage” against the dark like everyone else. In the final stanza, the speaker turns to address someone personal in their lives– their father.
The same can be said for daring and energetic people who know how exciting and beautiful life can be. Good people resist until the last moment, knowing that there’s more that they could to improve the world.
One shouldn’t just accept that it’s coming and go to it willingly. The speaker spends most of the poem telling readers, and it as it turns out their own father, not to give into death peacefully and calmly. ‘Do not go gentle into that good night by Dylan Thomas is a moving poem that defines death and tells readers to defy it and rage against it for as long as possible.
