Explanation:
A couple differences between today and the time of Romeo and Juliet, would be age. Romeo was most likely much older than Juliet. Also in the Renaissance, loyalty was VERY important to them. (Something they kept from the middle age when people lived on lords manors) The loyalty of the Capulet and Montague was a huge thing...Use the example of Juliet's monologue when she says "a rose called by any name would smell as sweet, as would romeo were he not romeo called."
Answer: Both authors describe death as a spiritual rebirth, a new beginning.
Explanation:
In his poem <em>"Song of Myself"</em>, Whitman argues that <em>“…to die is different from what any one supposed, and / luckier.” </em>He describes death as a return to life, a new beginning. In the poem, he explores the theme of mortality, reminding the audience that everyone must die eventually.
Emily Dickinson takes a similar viewpoint in<em> 712 "Because I Could Not Stop for Death"</em>. Death is personified in this poem, and takes a role of a gentle guide that accompanies the speaker on her journey from life to death. Death is not intimidating as people often think, and gives an impression that he cares about the speaker's feelings.
Existence is futile. this simple statement is an inconvenient truth. many of us (the human species) spend their whole lives in pursuit of a goal that they hope will get them remembered for generations. even if one acheives such exalteration they've hardly altered the course of human history and even if they did, so what? who is going to care if we get off this rock prison we call earth or if we bake ourselves alive. nothing anyone can do can stop the sun from exploding nor the universe from ending in the heat death 1e+100 years from now.
