The three main poems, "Remember", "A Mother in a Refugee Camp" and "Do Not Go Softly into That Good Night" all evoke the emotion of death but they all have different techniques to achieve it. These poems share commonalities and similarities, but they also show contrasts in their attitudes toward death. "Poem at Thirty-Nine Years", "The Void" and "Don't Stand at My Grave and Cry" also express the emotion of death sharing similarities with the main poems, but also contrasts in their attitudes towards death . Death is expressed through the use of tone in each of the poems. The tone of “Remember” in the octet is demanding. She asks her partner to remember her when she is gone. However, this changes considerably during the second half where his attitude fluctuates and becomes much more forgiving and hopeful. The tone of the octet is intense because the speaker is distressed and desires to be remembered after her death. The intense tone is shown by the use of “gone”. The word “disappeared” creates a feeling of loneliness and disparity. The speaker also uses the word “far” which suggests a great distance she will travel. The great distance she refers to is death. The "gone far away" effect suggests that there will be no form of communication and that it will not be possible to reach or see her, which implies death. Additionally, the repetition of the words “Remember me” emphasizes his urgency and desire to be remembered. Instead of simply asking the addressee to remember her, the speaker actually commands them to remember her; it forces the recipient, which demonstrates insistence and a desire to remember. The speaker also mentions the phrase: “It will then be late to counsel or pray.” The speech...... middle of paper ...... is the same sense that all of this is important. “A Mother” and “The Vacuum” have a similar rhyme and rhythm pattern in the way they use free flow and let their thoughts continually flow to create as much emotional effect as possible.
