About death..
|
|
hey, I was translating a piece of dramatic text, and I just found this word "la muerte" so I know is death, but in some lines it says cuando la muerte dice que es hora de morir...y ella es quine decide.. so I was wondering when death says that it is time to die.... and she or he or it is who decides..
death in English is she or he, or it??? which pronoun I must use..
thanx |

As Spinney already said, we normally refer to Death as he.
Here �s a link to Emily Dickinson � "Death" poem (she also uses "he")
Have a great weekend,
