Thomas uses the repetition of the lines "do not go gentle into that good night" and "rage, rage against the dying of the light," (Thomas, 968) alternating through the poem. The piece is intense with strong emotions exemplified in the words such as "lightning," "rage," "curse," and "bless." I think that author is asking people to hold onto life and not give up easily. Live the fullest and most furious as possible until you are taken, and if you are lucky, it will not occur during the night when you cannot defend yourself against death.

Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night
