• Sonnets are built on logic, reflecting the logical approach to death throughout the poem.

Question 2

‘Gone away/Gone far away into the silent land’

Answer 2

‘silent land’ evokes a tranquil image of death, death is a calming paradise & escape from the chaotic world

poignant repetition of ‘Gone away ‘ which transitions into ‘far away’ = some trepidation & apprehension about dying & mourning of loss as it creates great spatial distance
