Özet

Death, which is one of the three important stages in a person's life, occupies a significant place in every society's artistic creations. From time to time death has been the prime subject of works of art, and sometimes it has been a secondary subject running parallel to other subjects. The major factors which make death a significant popular subject are human emotions like fright and obedience since, according to many beliefs, life as we know it will end with death, but a different life, which is new and eternal, will begin.
