"Fear No More" by William Shakespeare
" FEAR NO MORE " This poem has been taken from Shakespeare's play Cymbeline . This is a death poem having universal appeal. In this poem the poet has expressed his feeling for the rest of the soul of the dead . It is written for the consolation of the dead. The poet wants to say that a dead person becomes free from all kinds of worldly anxieties. It is full of moral lessons. A dead person cannot feel the heat of the sun. A living person has to face the scorching sun and bitter coldness of the winter season. But after death, he gets rid of them. After death a person goes to heaven, which is his permanent home.

The poet further advises a dead person not to be disappointed from death because death is the fate of every person. It lays its icy hands over all whether he is a handsome fellow, a beautiful girl or a chimney sweeper....
