Abstract
Death continues to remain as one of the biggest threats and a great challenge to humanity. It is a single global event which affects all the human beings in unrecognized modes. Due to the distinguished capability of human beings in terms of social construction and meaning-making, it has developed as a very dynamic and complex system, which involves societal, psychological, biological, spiritual and cultural factors. Whatever may be the definition we
link to death, death is always around us and continues to be a part of our culture, and we all have openly embraced it. This report throws light widely on the theory of death in American poetry with particular reference to the contribution of three poets namely William Bryant, Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson.
