Question

What circumstances inspired poet Dylan Thomas to write "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night"? A. the knowledge of his own approaching death B. the need to tell someone of a friend's death C. his reading the great words of wise men D. his experience of sitting by his father's deathbed

Answer 1

The poem was written for Thomas's dying father. It has no title other than its first line, "Do not go gentle into that good night", a line which appears as a refrain throughout. The poem's other refrain is "Rage, rage against the dying of the light".
