Abstract

Interest in the death theme has been pronounced all through the ages because the subject is of such vital importance to man. Poets and writers have expended their best literary efforts in treating death in its every aspect.

Their poetry on death will be treated in such a way as to show the hopelessness and pessimism of the various writers.
