I thought the "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night" poem by Dylan Thomas was a very confusing poem. Some stanzas I had no idea what the writer was talking about, but I really don’t understand the poetic language that well because I don’t use my imagination as well as they do. I believe the poems main reason is about the character's father dying, due to the fact that near the end it says "And you, my father, there on the sad height" then while later in the poem he says "Do not go gentle into that good night". I can tell that the character had a strong relationship with his father, because he is very sad that his father is going to die. But at the same time he doesn't want his father to suffer through a slow death. The only relationship I can see in this poem is the relationship between the man and his father, so I’m guessing it’s the most powerful one. I would enjoy this poem more if I understood what the heck this guy meant when he said all of that goofy stuff that made no sense like hitting a fork with lighting or something like that.
