At a Glance

In "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night," the speaker demands that people "rage, rage against the dying of the light." He insists that elderly men should "burn and rave" against death as if they were young.

Stanzas two through five introduce four kinds of men: wise men, good men, wild men, and grave men. Wise men understand that death is inevitable ("know dark is right"), but knowing this doesn't make death any easier.

Wild men live carefree lives and learn too late that they're not immune to death. Good men cry because they weren't able to do enough in life. Grave men, already near death, see what others cannot.

In the final stanza, the speaker begs his dying father to "rage, rage against the dying of the light." He says it forcefully, like a command, revealing his grief at the thought of losing his father
