Movement of death in poet Rabindranath’s thought/ কবি রবীন্দ্রনাথের ভাবনায় মৃত্যুর গতিবিধি

Abstract

Death is an extreme fact of human life. No matter how much we love life, one day we have to accept death. But no one wants to accept death easily. Standing on the threshold of death, we still have the urge to live. But life and death are so interrelated. Even one life attains perfection only with death. Therefore, the idea of death appears repeatedly in the thoughts of various writers. Because literature is not something outside society, literature is a mirror of society itself. Since human life and human society are included in sorrow, the subject of sorrow as well as the subject of death is generally present in literature. This study examines the concept of death in Rabindranath's poetry. Analyzing Rabindranath's death thoughts, it is seen that there is diversity in his death thoughts. In the early poems, he presents death in one way, and in the later poems in another way. In this case, Rabindranath Tagore's philosophy of life has definitely influenced his poetry.
