The correct answer is "extended metaphor." In "Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night," Dylan Thomas uses a specific structure where each stanza begins with a reference to different types of men (wise men, good men, wild men, grave men), before directly addressing his father. This extended metaphor of different types of men represents the different ways people approach death or "that good night." Thomas uses this structure to explore the theme of fighting against death and encourages his father to do the same.
The intentional structural form used in "Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night" is most likely intended to create extended metaphor.
To arrive at this answer, we can analyze the poem's structure and the way the speaker addresses different types of men in each stanza. "Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night" is a villanelle, a highly structured form of poetry with a specific rhyme scheme and repetition of lines. In each stanza, the first line serves as a refrain that is repeated throughout the poem.
The speaker begins each stanza by addressing different types of men, including "wise men," "good men," "wild men," and "grave men." By mentioning these types of men before directly speaking to his father with the refrain "Do not go gentle into that good night," the speaker uses the extended metaphor of these different men as representations of various ways people approach death and life. Each type of man represents a different attitude towards mortality and how one should live life to the fullest.
Therefore, the intentional structural form of addressing different types of men before addressing his father creates an extended metaphor, allowing the poem to explore different perspectives on life and death.
