How would you compare/contrast Because I could not stop for death by emily dickinson with Do not go gentle into that good night by dylan thomas?

The two works can be compared or are similar based on
their topic: death and its inevitability.   Although the two poems take an almost polar
opposite approach to death, the second poem also aknowledges death, although the speaker
of Dylan's poem is openly pleading with the reader to resist, or at least not make it
easy for "death" as it is personified, it also admits that Death is coming, and
inevitable.

The first poem, Dickenson's "Because ..." is
formulated from a passive and voluntary helpless point of view, as though Death is
something that happens to us, not something we can challenge or decide upon.  The tone
toward the subject is vastly different as well, the speaker in the first poem uses words
such as "kindly" and "civility", indicating that there is a passive politeness, or
perfunctory process involving death, but does not address whether or not the sould
should or should not resist, as in poem 2.  This is due to the fact that it is
established in the first few lines of the poem that whether or not to resist death is
moot, Death is personified as deciding to claim you when and where Death decides.  The
second poem also paralyzes the speaker into a sort of suspended sense of
reality:

"We passed the setting sun. Or rather, he passed
us;"

adding more to the "helpless" aspect of
dying.

Taken as a whole the sole similarities of the two
poems are the subject matter.   Beyond that they diverge in separate directions and are
told from different points of view, the first in a sort of indirect dealing with death,
by telling the reader to "fight" death, and the second as sort of narration of the
speaker's not so unpleasant experience through the journey that is
death.
