Explanation:
Hello. You did not inform the story to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
In general, we can see that people face death with a certain fear. This fear is the result of unpredictability about what happens after death, in addition to the sadness and loneliness it causes. In my personal life, I have seen many people using religion to face death and support themselves when it appears. However, in the literature, we have very different examples. In "The Devil" for example, we can see the protagonist of the story seeing death with indifference and wanting to free himself, but not caring about the death of others. In "The monkey's paw," on the other hand, we see the characters trying to cheat death and fail.
