Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.
Who cares, that is highschool pot smoking behind the basketball court to impress the hunnies tier prose.
What cliche, lowbrow garbage! Stephen King is such a hack.

not one them, but it uses cliches. Like a pop country song, using the same rhythms and tropes/topics/words ad nauseum.
The use of Shakespearean-esc language, but only for the most specific things such as Thou, Dost, thy. Although it is by no means in middle/old english, out side of those sparse words, which makes it awkward.
It reads like it is trying hard to give the appearance of medieval - occult - evil - horror - etc, without actually being so.

>And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.
Sounds Christian.
> But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive
>>7836303
Easy to see why King is considered a hack
this is so tacky

I don't need to know the context. The context is the post, and its shit so I wouldn't care to look it up anyway.
It wasn't criticism intended to make myself sound smart, I couldn't care less what you anon-autists think of me. It was intended to make a very easy to understand critique so that anon could see some faults.
Get back to your memes reddit samefaging kid.

Good points anon senpai.
You clearly have a knack for observation, so I'll recommend the article, "Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity". It's relevant to literary criticism and changed my life.
