Dylan Thomas's poem "Do Not Go Softly Into That Good Night" is about grieving a son and accepting the death of his father. Thomas knows that death is inevitable, so he uses persuasion to get his father to "rage, rage against the dying of the light" (line 3). Villanelle's poems require two repeating rhyme schemes. Thomas helps the reader visualize the darkness and the light. : “Wise men…know that darkness is right” (4). “The wild men… sang of the sun in flight/Do not go docile into that good night” (10.12). uses examples of different characters and how they too find ways to continue fighting the coming of death. Anger and frustration sets the tone for Thomas as he wants his father to live and not give up on life as to how he is dealing with his father's inevitable passing. While different men may learn too late and lament their lack of foresight, they too “do not go gently into the night,” instead “they get angry, they rage against the death of their father. the light” (18, 19). Through the use of building blocks such as form and symbol, Thomas creates an observation of the last resort of a man asking his father not to give up on death. It's true, Tommaso is angry, but no child wants that. losing a parent. Emotion is not an easy task for men, in general. Furthermore, crying is a sign of weakness. Thomas' father is dying and, naturally, Thomas has difficulty accepting his father's death. Thomas wants his father to understand that even his old age “should burn and rage at the end of the day” (2). This means he shouldn't give up without a fight. During the first stanza, Thomas speaks directly to his father. While, Thomas' tone is tender towards his father, but it is actually a plea to "do not go kindly into that good night" (1). Next, Thomas creates the image using scenarios using men with different characters to show his father, he too, can find a reason not to give up. Thomas's two interchangeable rhyming sentences, necessary for this villanelle poem, ending with night and light show the reader "Wise men... know that darkness is right" (4). Yet, as death approaches “their words had not forked the lightning” (5). Therefore, just as they know that death is a part of life and accept it, when it is their turn they choose to fight.
