Abstract:
Peter James’s Dead Simple and Dead Tomorrow discuss the metaphysical concept of death. This paper has explored this concept considering the human attitudes toward this eternal matter and its social dimension. From our critical analysis, using the psychoanalysis and feminism as literary theories, we can conclude that death has always been a crucial problem to human beings. Death’s interpretation is pluridimensional and it is quite difficult to access its main cause. This provokes often doubt in human minds. Willingly or unwilling, sooner or later, we should one day die because death is the only one certitude. But we should avoid dying for nothing since prevention is better than cure.
