villanelle “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night” the narrator is speaking to his dying father‚ telling him not to give up‚ to fight against death.

In the first stanza Thomas is using night as a metaphor for death. He encourages the listener to fight death to “not go gentle into that good night…rage‚ rage against the dying of the light”
