Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night Analysis

The type of audience poets write for is an audience that he or she can give hope to or inspire

them to do something great. For example: in the poem“Do not go gentle into that good

night” Dylan Thomas says that “ Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,And learn, too

late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. This shows that people can

try and do the impossible and the sky was the limit but learned that too late and now they

live a life of regret and misery but this also shows that Thomas believes that you should live

your life now instead of just letting it pass you by. I know that because Thomas also said that

“Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like
I know that

because “poet Roque Dalton” it was said that ”In the summer of 1965, he returned to El Salvador

to continue his political work. Two months after his arrival, he was arrested, tortured, and again

sentenced to execution. This shows me that his plan for reconciliation didn’t really go as plan yes

this guy was an inspiration and he won many awards for his art but the fact is art is not action a

few words on a paper that has a nice tune will mean a lot to some but some people are blinded by

this idea that whatever someone says who has power and wealth is right and they saw him as an

outlaw that needed to be eliminated so he does not plague his beliefs on their society. Why?

The same reason why they killed people who didn’t believe the world was flat or burned to death

because he or she was a witch, everyone wants to be right even when they are clearly wrong.

So overall poets writing can only effect opened minded people not close minded people
