Freud argues that the primary drive of the human organism, even more fundamental than the life instinct Eros itself, is the Death Instinct: the search for final homogeneity and release from all biological tensions.

There may be feelings of guilt, remorse, regret, contentment, or perhaps the feeling of being alone. In poem 465, the speaker describes her feelings toward the life she has led through emotional imagery and metaphors as she finds herself confronted with death.

Visitors are no longer wanted, nor is sympathy. Perhaps this is a way of providing closure and creating a somewhat dead world before actually passing on. I feel that the speaker has come ...
