The poem “Upon a Fit of Sickness” interprets a strong message that every human being should realize. As anyone could know, a poem can have many symbols and creativity to relate to the main theme that hits the most. This poem, in particular, can illuminate idea dealing with death. Anna Bradstreet writes the poem to show that she finally understands of her timing for death due to a sickness. She now knows that nothing can change the fact that all humans will die, even her. She uses biblical examples, to reason why all humans must die, but at the very end, she concludes that her death will be on that day. For even if she did pass, she would know the place she will go. Throughout the poem, everything was clear until the word “Bestow” appeared.
