In the poem "donot go gentle into that goodnight" by dylan thomas. i think that  dylan thomas  is talking about his dad who is very sick and is going  to die from this sickness. while his dad is still alive ,i think dylan is trying to tell his father  to fight and no to go down with outa good battle.



this poem has many symbolism and one of them is the word goodnight.  to me when the author is reffering to goodnight he means death. " donot go gentle inot that goodnight" when he said that it made me think that this person shouldnt go out with out a battle. night beign darkness and symbolising baf things made me think that goodnight meant death.



another symbolism will be light. light represented life, good and brightness. when he said"rage,rage against the dying light" i think he was trying to say that he shouldnt let the darkness win that he should fight for his life and dont give up.


 the theme to this poem is about a son who writting a poem ti his dad telling him not to give up and to stay strong. the son wants his father to fight his sickness, and to not let it beat him so he wont die. the last stanza of the poem dscribe the theme. it explains who the  person was speaking to and  what he is trying to say.


"THOUGH WISE MEN AT THEIR END KNOW DARK IS RIGHT BECAUSE  THEIR WORDS...."(stanza2) in this  part of their poem the son is telling his father to not be like the wisemen because they are wise and they know they cant beat the battle, so they wont even try to fight it back. he wants  his father to be the opposite he wnats his dad to fight it and to have a chance to get to that light.

the third stanza of the poem describes how the son is telling his father that he shouldnt be like the good men who show their weak side and talk about what good or wrong they did in his life. he wasnt his dad to do the opposite and to remain strong that showing yor weak side is bad. his dad should  fight through out the whole thing.

"wildmen who caught and sang thesun in flight, and learn...."(fourthstanza) what he trying to say here is for his father not to be oblivious to what going on just like the wild men would do because even though they might have been avaible to fight it, due to them being oblivious it was too late for them to fight. that the wise men regreted not fighting back because they were oblivious.

on the fifth stanza the son is telling hisfather not to be blind and to go to this battlenotknowing anything and to just let it happen. thar he should fight and to stay strong. through out the whole poem the son just wnat his father to be strong and do not  die  with out fighting it. that he shouldnt  do what the other men do because  at the end of the day they wont win the battle. that only the people that fight can see the "light" and beat the battle

 the archetype that confuses me is the jester. the jester is a person that  find joy in  everything and likes to enjoy life. the jester a person that always  finds the humor in an event. someone that is jester in  real life can be a comedian because comedians are always finding ways to make people laugh and are always making jokes about things that going on. what confuses me about the  jester is that  how are they enjoying life if they are trying to  make comedy of something wrong that going on in their life . to me i dont think they enjoy life i just think they can come face to face to reality
