The poem was very emotional and clearly shows the love he had for his father.

Comment
This poem is a very deep representation of death and accepting it. The resistence shown by the poet when composing his poem is very admirable.

This poem was at times sad and made you think of whether you are wasting your life or not, but also motivational to help you realise that you should live your life to the fullest:)

I enjoyed this poem a lot as it was very clever but also significant towards life and the emotions that one faces in this situation. His use of metaphors most of the time gives the poem more meaning too.

Do not go gentle into that good night
I think this poem is an interesting view of death. It does not fear death, but protests to people simply giving up living, and dying. The poem is a good one, which is interesting to analyse, but can not be over analysed, for then it ruins the poem. It is very well written and thought out, and the figures of speech make it even more interesting. A truely unique view on death, which makes it a truely unique poem.

I feel the poet is being quite selfish because his father might not want to rage or fight anymore. However the style he chose makes the poem interesting and his unwavering defiance on his fathers behalf is admirable. This is a good poem and it's memorable.

I believe that Thomas's poem is very emotional. It steps away from the normal villanelle style, his use of adjectives is very strong in the poem, as well as the use of figurative language.

I enjoy this poem, because it depicts how everyone is scared of death. Also, anyone who has lost a family member or friend to a disease and has watched them struggle, can relate to the poets view of trying to allow the person to fight and not give in. I have lost a family member to cancer and i can relate to what he is saying.
