Question

In the poem 'Do Not Go Gentle, ...', is the father still a young man even though he is dying?

1) True
2) False

Answer 1

In the poem 'Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night,' the father is not a young man but is actually close to death, and the poem encourages fighting against death ardently.

Step-by-step explanation:

The father in the poem 'Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night' by Dylan Thomas is not depicted as a young man; he is actually approaching the end of his life. The poem exhorts the father, and all men, not to passively accept death but to resist it with vigor and passion. The reference to the father's age suggests that he is closer to the end than to his youth. Therefore, the correct answer to whether the father is still a young man even though he is dying is 2) False.
