Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies – Literature, grade: 1, 3, LMU Munich, language: English, abstract: This paper delves into the timeless themes of mortality, remembrance, and societal values through an analysis of Thomas Gray’s poem, ‘Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard.’ Drawing on historical, literary, and philosophical perspectives, the analysis examines how Gray’s elegy resonates with contemporary understandings of success, social class, and the human condition. Through a close reading of selected passages, the paper explores the poem’s meditations on life, death, and the enduring impact of one’s character. By contextualizing Gray’s work within the broader tradition of elegiac poetry and tracing its influence on subsequent Romantic writers, this study illuminates the enduring relevance and universal appeal of the elegy as a form of reflection and commemoration.
