Comparing Twelve Songs by W.H.Auden and Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good

Comparing Twelve Songs by W.H.Auden and Do non Go placate Into That heavy Night by Dylan ThomasThe two poems I am comparing are Twelve Songs by W.H.Auden and Do non Go Gentle Into That Good Night by Dylan Thomas. Two themes runthrough some(prenominal) of these poems, those themes are grief and death.Although the subjects are the same, the poets each have a verydifferent approach to the subjects. This is shown in many different styluss, But although their approach to the subjects are very different,their overall views on grief and death are quiet similar. That beingthat neither suffer nor death is good, and no one wants it tohappen.Someone who has lost a loved one, and feels nothing is important nowthat they have gone is narrating Twelve Songs. A son is narratingDo Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night. The son is telling his fathernot to die. Twelve Songs is not talking to anyone he is talkingabout someone. Whereas Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good night the sonis talking to his fathe r rather than talking about him. The tone ofeach poem is quite similar. They both hire orders and commands but theyuse them very differently. Twelve Songs uses a list of instructionor commands throughout the whole poem. Do Not Go Gentle Into ThatGood Night uses two book of instructions Do Not Go Gentle Into That GoodNight and Rage rage against the dying of the light. Dylan Thomasuses these two lines throughout the whole poem but altogether uses those twoinstructions either at the beginning or the end of each stanza.W.H.Auden uses a lot of Instructions, in fact the whole poem is on the noseinstructions Stop all the clockspack up the moon and dismantlethe sun But none of the instructions are repeated at any early(a) poi... ...ave out that message to the reader. Dylan Thomas did not reallygive out a message to the reader apart from to put up a troth againstdeath. His aim of begging his father not to die and to create animpact worked. He did use instructions but not in the same w ay asW.H.Auden, however his instructions did work as he used them to beghis father to not go gentle into that good night. The maindifference amongst these poems is that Twelve Songs is about afterdeath and Do Not Go Gentle In to That Good Night is about beforedeath. The main similarity is that they both use instructions and eventhough they use them very differently they are still very effective inboth poems and are used well. Also both poems talk about personalfeelings but only at the end. I pray do not go gentle into that goodnight, and I thought love would last forever I was wrong.
