Death Depicted Nagisa Furukawa was a sweet, shy, and joyful girl. The Japanese animation starts off with Nagisa as a high school student. Her soul was intertwined and connected to the town she was living in. If the town’s condition deteriorates, Nagisa deteriorates as well. Now the time has come and the town is starting to deteriorate. Nagisa’s health became unstable, yet she insists to keep attending class. Later on, she meets her future husband and a few other friends in school as the story progresses. Moving onto season two, she got married and became pregnant with her first child. Despite the hazardous health conditions that came along with the pregnancy, she still wanted to keep the child.

Tomoya did not take her death well, “I thought I had a crappy life... But even someone useless like me finally found something to live for... Right, Nagisa? R-Right? Nagisa... NAGISA!” (Ishihara s2 ep16). This moment of death was intended to teach her husband, Tomoya, to appreciate how blessed he is to have a family. Nagisa smiled until her last moment ensuring Tomoya that everything will be alright and there is nothing to worry about. However, within a matter of seconds, he lost it all. People all around her were depressed when she died. On the other hand, even though she was the one dying she was crying tears of joy. She knew the hazards that came along with giving birth of her child, yet she was brave enough to keep the child and smile during her last moment as if nothing happened. She repeated, “I’m sorry, but I’m starting to feel tired” (Ishihara s2 ep16). After this moment, the screen becomes blank with just Nagisa, Tomoya, and their new born child. This meant that nothing else exists, and it was just their little world. Nagisa was his reason to keep living. However, now that Nagisa is gone, he has to deal with the pain from the horrid world. Their child could have been Tomoya’s new reason to live, but nothing worked out because Nagisa’s soul contract to the town transferred to their daughter. The darkness that came over during that …show more content…
During her death, Tomoya remembers most of the memories they made as if it was a time line or walk through of the time they spent together. With that being said, the audience feels connected to these characters as well. Unknowingly, the audience remembers the good and the bad times as if they were part of the animation as well. This death tried to teach the viewers and characters that death will come unexpectedly. The lesson was sought to teach people to appreciate life as well. Nagisa smiles during her last moment, and this portrays that she is satisfied with what she has even though it led to an unfortunate ending for her. The snow during that winter night represented her pure heart. The white snow shows to innocence of a character and Nagisa was just as pure as the snow when she died. The darkness represented Nagisa 's death and the start of Tomoya 's empty soul that came about at the same time. The White Darkness was an episode that no one expected and was extremely
... seeing and feeling it’s renewed sense of spring due to all the work she has done, she was not renewed, there she lies died and reader’s find the child basking in her last act of domestication. “Look, Mommy is sleeping, said the boy. She’s tired from doing all out things again. He dawdled in a stream of the last sun for that day and watched his father roll tenderly back her eyelids, lay his ear softly to her breast, test the delicate bones of her wrist. The father put down his face into her fresh-washed hair” (Meyer 43). They both choose death for the life style that they could no longer endure. They both could not look forward to another day leading the life they did not desire and felt that they could not change. The duration of their lifestyles was so pain-staking long and routine they could only seek the option death for their ultimate change of lifestyle.
Even though Death is all a part of life, it’s really a difficult thing to find in the art world. If it is dealing with death the most common idea to find is the scenarios dealing with dramatic times in history. No matter the day and age there is always the idea of death when it comes to the idea of the human body.
If you take note of something detrimental is bound to happen to an individual, would you act on it? Every person has experienced the “bystander effect” at least once in their lifetime, making decisions on whether or not is it worth it to get involved in other people’s business. In the story entitled Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel García Márquez, it becomes known to everyone in town, except the victim himself, Santiago Nasar, that there’s going to be a murder taking place. However, no one tries to intervene with the Vicario brothers, who wants retribution for their sister’s honor. Santiago’s death could’ve been prevented by Colonel Lázaro Aponte, but he didn’t comprehend the matter to be important, and by Davina Flor since she was
O'Connor begins to paint the image of death with her presentation of the grandmother. As the family prepares for their adventure the grandmother carefully selects her attire. “A navy blue straw sailor hat with a bunch of white violets on the brim and a navy blue dress with a small white dot in the print. Her collars and cuffs were white organdy trimmed with lace and at her neckline she had pinned a purple spray of cloth violets containing a sachet” (O'Connor 267). The imagery of the grandmother’s impeccable attire foreshadows her position at the end of the story. When a person dies it is common that they are adorn in their best outfit. The grandmother has symbolically prepared herself for her eternal rest in a coffin as she is dressed in her Sunday best. O'Connor continues to incorporate the theme of death into the story, as she provides the readers with the reason for the grandmother’s ensemble, “in cares of an accident, anyone seeing her dead on the highway would know at once she was a lady” (O'Connor 267). Symbolically the grandmother is walking down the path of death.
In conclusion, loss of someone proves to be unavoidable and sparks pessimistic and aggressive feelings that damage us, leaving us to fend for ourselves as seen in the double deaths of Kamal and his father, and the murder of Hassan. Death is not always peaceful and does not always bring along an optimistic life- changing moral; it can lead to insanity or guilt that we cannot do anything to save them. It is unpredictable, but lies in front of us, and it truly tells us to cherish others, but ourselves as well. We let our own feelings get in the way of practical thinking, but we must learn to adapt and know how precious life is.
In modern society, death is the end of all things. Death brings nothingness to some and a second chance at life to others; a new and better life than what can be lead on Earth. This idea of the life beyond death was celebrated and anticipated by the ancient Greeks. Death brought with it a reunion of loved ones, an existence with eternal youth, and an abundance of happiness. The most important aspect of this experience, however, was the continuation of love and marriage after death. Several ancient myths delve into this “til’ eternity do us part” motif, exhibiting distinguishing characteristics such as sexually suggestive imagery, the strong influence of Eros, and the reestablishment of oikos in the afterlife.
Although colors are usually represented and used for the recollection of joyful experiences, Death uses the colors of the spectrum to enhance the experience of the Book Thief and as well as him own life too. In Death’s narration, his use of the colors illustrate the great ordeal of suffering and pain throughout the book’s setting. As an example Death says “The day was grey, the color of Europe. For me, the sky was the color of Jews” (Zusak, 349). This quote effectively describes Death’s use of the colors by relating it to the events taking place. The colors give perspective to the agony and painful hardships going on in the life of WWII. In a regular setting, colors are used to describe happy memories and any basic descriptions of a setting. Death says “Whatever the hour or color…” (Zusak, 5). By saying this quote, Death establishes the colors a...
Geoffrey Chaucer’s ‘The Pardoner’s Tale’ (The Canterbury Tales 2012) and Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus both contain the theme of death, a personified representation of death and death itself. Chaucer and Marlowe have provided works which use the notion of good and evil as well as the well-known Seven Deadly Sins as a way to corrupt characters souls, leading to their deaths. Marlowe has also used the Faustian Pact as a way to lead characters to damnation. This has been achieved through the use of language and structure, imagery and macabre. These elements will be discussed in relation to my own creative writing work, specifically the Faustian pact in the working title ‘Hell on Earth.

I have felt the pain of the loss of a Sister; have felt the pain of the death of my Mother, and felt the death of my Father. I know how it feels. I experienced it. It is painful, looking at those old kind folks who bore you; who took care of you; went through all kinds of sacrifices and pains just to look after you for years and years, until one day the child stood on one’s own two feet, and then … there they are, the parents, helpless and lifeless in front of you.
The reader learns that Mikage has yet to cry over the death of her grandmother and has not yet dealt with the overwhelming emotion regarding the situation. In this scene, the moon represents the notion that light shines even in the darkest moments of our lives, “my eye came to rest on the still-new moon making its gentle way across the sky.” The adjective ‘gentle’ softens the atmosphere and creates a peaceful feeling. This is contrasted to the following breakdown as she gets off the bus, “tears were flooding out.” Connotations of ‘flooding’ emphasizes the uncontrollable nature of it as floods are typically nature’s doing, a force to be reckoned with; this implication emphasizes how overwhelmed Mikage is. A ‘new moon’ symbolizes new beginnings, relating to Mikage’s recovery from her sudden breakdown. In addition, Mikage is now in a refreshed state as a result of dealing with the death of grandmother in a very emotional way, “unburdened after my good cry, I slept like a baby.” By linking Mikage to a baby, Yoshimoto is able to emphasize the idea of peace and acceptance. The moon’s symbolic meaning emphasizes the impact this pivotal point has on Mikage’s future as it is as if she has been reborn. This scene is strangely uplifting for the reader as by releasing her grief, Mikage is left feeling so much happier and more content. The moon is then seen as a symbol of both despair and acceptance.
This imagery helps to convey the same theme, that death is always hard. The narrator in this novel often depicts the sky in intense detail, seeming to describe it to match his mood in that instant. However, these colors have a deeper meaning. Death isn’t really fond of his job, disposing of the souls of the deceased accordingly, so he uses colors to distract him. He isn't a human and it seems he can control his mind above what mortals can, so he paints his surroundings with color: “I do, however try to enjoy every color I see - the whole spectrum... It takes the edge off of stress. It helps me relax” (Zusak 4). This quote perfectly shows the role that colors play for death. They are his guilty pleasure, the only thing that makes death easier for him. Death isn't even a person and he still witnesses how difficult death is, day in and day
She also uses imagery beautifully. The spring life, twittering birds, open window, delicious breath of rain, all these symbolize a new beginning and rebirth. Chopin also creates the storm and gloomy weather to show death and mourning. She acted as she cares about him as expectations of people around her. I believe that she never wanted him dead or wanted to kill him but as it happened she takes as an opportunity.
In Cunnigham’s The Hours, Virginia Woolf, through Cunnigham’s interpretation, is a character that is fascinated by mortality. In each event she experiences in the novel, she evaluates how she feels about living, and constantly considers suicide as a way to escape her oppressive life. One of these moments occurs when she is attending a “funeral” for a dead bird with her sister’s children. Although the reader knows that Virginia will eventually commit suicide, the “funeral” scene is an important character revelation because it reveals that at this point in the novel, Virginia was not ready to take her own life; and unfortunately, the film misses this important aspect of her character by condensing this scene.
