Answer 9

ps, there is more to the phrase just in case you didn't know, and i just found out it wasn't Shakespeare, it was by Dylan Thomas

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Answer 10

Answer 11

He is begging his father not to accept death without a fight. His father is succumbing to old age and doesn't strive to live anymore; we wants his father to WANT to live, so badly that he rages against death and fights out his sickness until his very last breath.
