The Potrayal of Death in Philip Larkin's Poetry
Philip Larkin viewed death as an inevitable and frightening prospect. In his poetry, death is depicted as "unpreventable," "permanent and blank and true," and "the sure extinction that we travel to." Religion provides only an illusory way of avoiding death, as "in fact, nothing can ensure a life hereafter." Rationality and courage also cannot defeat the dread of death. Larkin sought to capture death through bleak attributes like "unresting," "the anesthetic from which none come round," and "the total emptiness." While death makes life seem absurd, Larkin also felt some human acts like love could provide immortality.
When i am dead, my dearest
The poem expresses the wish to be remembered without sadness after death. The speaker asks to be buried under green grass rather than planted with roses or cypress trees.

While the speaker may remember in dreams, they also hope those alive may forget if it brings them peace.

Romeo and Juliet is set in 16th century Verona, Italy during the Renaissance. The play is based on a real Italian story from the 3rd century involving the Capulet and Montague families. Shakespeare wrote the version in 1594 based on Arthur Brooke's poem from 1562.
