- 591: Martin Heidegger’s Being and Time
- ... though, as he temporally moves through life, is constantly changing. Since his essence is not fixed, his purpose and mental composition are evolving. In this sense, the human being’s essence is never realized until death. For Heidegger, the human being’s essence of being is to be found in how it approaches it’s “being-in-the-world (Oaklander 177).” By being-in-the-world, I take it to mean ... believes that through this process, the individual becomes more authentic. Authenticity I take to mean the awareness of one’s own self. Conversely, an inauthentic individual is one who is “fleeing in the face of death (Oaklander 186).” In other words, the individual cannot come to truly know one’s own being if they avoid the very notion that ultimately defines their lives, namely death. The individual then is seen to be truly authentic when he comes to terms with death. With respect to this, the person is overcome with anxiety. This is not the anxiety of death, but ...
- 592: Poetry Analysis: “An Irish Airman Foresees His Death”
- Poetry Analysis: “An Irish Airman Foresees His Death” William Butler Yeats was a master of images. He used symbols and metaphors in all of his works, which make his readers imagine exactly what he is trying to say. Also, Yeats was a very visual poet. An example of Yeats’ visionary poems is shown in “An Irish Airman Foresees His Death.” The poem, about an Irish Pilot, symbolizes the Irish, who had to fight for the British during World War I, because Britain was their ‘Mother Land.’ The pilot does not hate the people he is ... the war was just chaos in the sky, and begins to think about his life. He then realizes that he has not lead a very fulfilling life, and does not have a long future because death is probable. This poem was a perfect illustration of Yeats’ use of symbolism. He clearly is a visionary poet, who uses allusions to there fullest capability. The way he says one thing to mean ...

- ... that he will marry Antigone, to which Creon orders: “You’ll never marry her while she lives” (s.III, l. 118). Upon Haemon’s exit, he tells Choragus: “He shall not save [this girl] from death” (s.III, l. 138). Also, Creon faces the internal conflict regarding matters of the state, which he serves, versus matters of family obligation and personal morality, which Antigone faces; this internal conflict proves to be ... welfare” (s. I, ll. 18-24). Unwisely, Creon’s pride will not allow him to back down from the command he has issued; he will put Antigone, who promises to do holy things criminally, to death rather than be defied. Like all tragic heroes, Creon, too, suffers a tragic flaw, which leads to his reversal. He has told the Theban people: “No one shall bury [Polyneices and] the penalty [shall result in] Stoning to death in the public square”(Prologue, ll. 20, 24-25). Antigone, Polyneices’ sister, defies Creon: “I will bury him; and if I must die, I say that this crime ...

- ... might have been done to prevent the suicide" (50). Questions like these are generally unanswerable, and thus they may prolong the process of grieving and condemn "survivors to live in the shadow of that suicidal death far longer than is healthy" (Stillion 50). As a suicide survivor, Will Barrett at the age of nineteen, not only has the usual identity search of a young man, but he also has a special ... mattering in his son's life was enough incentive to live; consequently, Will would live the next part of his life in search of resolution. The intentional, sudden, and violent nature of Ed Barrett's death left Will feeling abandoned, helpless, and rejected. As Mark Johnson suggests, the "haunting power" of the suicide scene follows Will around like a ghost from Hades (Johnson 141). Will Barrett is so hurt and confused ... father, "out of his simple love and need," was refused by his father, leaving Will feeling worthless and damaging his self-esteem (Hardy 87).

Kennedy writes, not knowing his father's suicidal intentions, Will suffers from a profound sense of guilt at not intervening and ...
