But a religious sense of the sacredness of life itself, with its accompanying sense of the absolute horror of death, is at the very center of his perception. As he says in the almost too brilliant story, "Lifeguard," "Young as I am, I can hear in myself the protein acids ticking; I wake at odd hours and in the shuddering darkness and silence feel my death rushing toward me like an express train."

- 5595: Jane Eyres Struggle For Love
- ... opposite of what had been offered by Rochester. Jane has as difficult a time refusing this proposition as she did Rochester's, saying, "Religion called-Angels beckoned-God commanded- life rolled together like a scroll-death's gate's opening, showed eternity beyond: it seemed, that for safety and bliss there, all here might be sacrificed in a second. The dim room was full of visions."(Bronte,444) By accepting this ...

- ... The only area where Lynn does not seem to identify with is in regards to end of life issues. "Carl Jung believed that the primary goal of the second half of life is to confront death."

- 5598: Iliad 2
- ... could be described as heroism. The first way in which Achilles, who fights for the Greeks, and Hector, who fights for the Trojans, act differently is how they approach war and the inevitable violence and death that accompany it.

Achilles, vengeful and bloodthirsty, kills Hector in a manner, which, by today s standards, would be unnecessarily cruel and barbaric. He allows Hector to die a slow and agonizing death, after which he shamelessly desecrates the body, without caring in the least about the feelings of Hector s family and supporters.
