The doctor purchases cadavers in spite of the fact that those people were murdered (and, very likely, the purpose of the murders was to sell the bodies afterwards). For instance, the screenplay “The Doctor and The Devils” tells the story of an anatomist, who is trying to find his way to eternal life (in the form of eternal fame) autopsying more and more cadavers, provided by graverobbers. The fact that the poet defied death, defied the transience of life, can be seen in several works he wrote. The main message of the poem appears in the words brining all the parts of the text together: “Rage, rage against the dying of the light”. Antigone is the gut-wrenching finale to Sophocles soul-and- spirit-wrenching Oedipus trilogy, which details the rise, fall, and inevitable fulfillment of. Lines of the poem can be heard in the Interstellar movie. ![]()
