Hi. Did you forget to say that this question refers to "Because I Could Not Stop For Death" by Emily Dickinson

Answer:

The end of the story shows a confidence and acceptance about death.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speaker of the poem is narrating the moment when death came to seek him. He shows how death was chivalric and let him visualize many things during the journey.

At no time does the speaker show sadness or discouragement, nor a memo in the last stanza where he is comfortable with his situation and shows that he understood where the horses are taking him and the fate that awaits him. This is a sign of acceptance and trust.
