Who doesn't cower in fear at the thought of death?" Almost everyone does it! However, people have different opinions on the abstract idea of ​​death. Examining the poem "Why Couldn't I Stop for Death?" by Emily Dickinson and "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night?" by Dylan Thomas, it is evident that the poets use contrasting and comparative techniques in their unique presentations of the concept of death. In the poem "Why Couldn't I Stop for Death? Emily Dickinson presents the idea of ​​acceptance of death, while in the poem "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night? Dylan Thomas presents the idea of ​​rejection and opposition to death. Despite differences in theme, these two poets both use similar figurative linguistic devices, such as metaphors, personification, and alliteration as they explore their contrasting ideas related to the concept of death. Through the use of the same literacy techniques, both authors presented two very different perceptions of death: Dickinson's message is acceptance while Thomas's is rejection. The poem "Why Couldn't I Stop for Death?" by Emily Dickinson is composed of six quatrains; four-line stanzas. All odd-numbered lines are written in iambic tetrameter and have eight syllables, while all even-numbered lines are written in iambic trimeter and have six syllables. The alternating meter lengths (eight and six syllables) resemble a falling stream of water, allowing nature (death) to take it wherever nature desires. Dickinson structures her poem to present her theme of accepting death calmly and willingly. On the other hand, the poem "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night?" by Dylan Thomas is a form of villanelle with two important refrains; "Do Not Go Gentl...... middle of paper ......and against the death of the light? is visible. Both poets use a variety of different and similar figurative elements to develop their themes and provoke thoughts and create vivid perceptual images in the reader's mind. It is indisputable that these two poems have similarities and differences in themes, style and writing techniques. Despite this, both poems delve into the concept of death, with a different point of view. "Aren't you going easy on this Good Night? insists on resisting death while “Why couldn't I stop for death?” insists on accepting death calmly. From these two poems, it can be concluded that whatever the views on death, death is still inevitable and will be understood by everyone; but you can choose to accept it peacefully as Dickinson's poem suggests or fight it as Thomas' poem suggests..
