Question

which two lines in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoys the death of ivan llyich use symbolism to indicate that death is approaching?

Answer 1

"Why decieve myself? Isnt it obvious to everyone but me that im dying, and that its only a question of weeks, days... it may happen this moment." We can tell this because hes saying that he can die anytime soon.

Answer 2

To me it seems that the choices below symbolize the future death. I'm not a expert, but these seemed to stick out to me.:

"There was light and now there is darkness"

"Staring with wide-open eyes into the darkness."
