Summary/Abstract: The topic of this study is Death as absolute fear. The way it has been personified and reflected in literature and art has gone numerous changes over time. From the Grim Reaper of the Middle Ages to the abstract forms of modern times, death has always stirred imagination. A component of our culture, it remains a great mystery that each epoch views differently. There is a constant evolution of the way we relate to it, both as individuals and as society. This essay is an attempt to analyse a few iconic aspects of death.
