Dylan Thomas' 'Do Not Go Gently Into.... ' / Rage Against the Loss of Light

Abstract: A 4 page paper arguing that Dylan Thomas' 'Do Not Go Gently Into That Good Night' has various meanings about grieving and the fight for life, which are brought to light by Thomas through the use of adjectives, specific verbs, phraseology, and counter-terminology. 'Light' is not only a reference to the burning intelligence and gift of wise men, but also in reference to the body that houses that light. Thomas rages against the loss of light, of life--for his father and all good men. No additional sources cited.
