Answer 1

Answer:

C. Death.

Explanation:

Dylan Thomas' poem "Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night" is a villanelle poem by the Welsh writer. It is presumed to be written by Thomas about his father.

The poem talks of how and why men should fight against the very "death' that is nearby. He suggests that a person should fight or resist death and try to overcome it. He includes all types of men in his poem- wise men, good men, brave men, wild men, grave men. He then implores his father to "not go into that gentle good night" and instead "rage, rage against the dying of the light". The "Good Night" which the speaker refers in the poem is Death.
