Just like Survivor

In Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night by Dylan Thomas, the narrator seems to be actively fighting death.  Similar to the torches in the tv show Survivor, light in this poem represents their life.  The author states death as the fading of light, which most men should struggle with all their might to avoid.  He goes through individual categories of men that would likely be alright with death, or at least not terrified of it.  Yet he finds a reason that all these men should fight death.  He constantly claims that their work is not done on earth yet, and they would be best suited to stay a while longer.  This could be from a sense of himself not being satisfied with his own deeds in life.  His regrets lead him to urge other men to stay and make sure they are leaving nothing behind.  He ends nearly all the stanzas with "Rage, rage against the dying of the light," (Thomas, 968).  The narrator is truly scared of his light going out, and attempts to find security in other people wanting the same thing.
