Do Not Go Gentle Into that Good Night

Personally, I think this poem is to convince people who are about to die and I think it includes his father. The author thinks that everyone should try their best to live before they die because you only live life once so it is precious. This poem is metaphorical; light being living and night being death. If it is a metaphor the title 'Do not Go Gentle Into that Good Night' shows don't accept death so easily. Also since this poem is written in Villanelle form, this is to strongly emphasize the idea of this poem. I think there is more meaning to this poem however, I do not get every part of the metaphorical phrases. But however, I think the main point of this poem is to 'fight to live' and 'do not accept death easily'. I think the important phrases of this poem is the repeating parts which are 'do not go gentle into that good night' and 'rage, rage against the dying of the light'
