Death (personification)

Death as a personification is the way humans imagine death as a person or character. It’s a symbolic representation used in stories, art, and culture to give a familiar form to the abstract concept of mortality. Often depicted as a robed figure with a scythe, Death personification helps people understand and discuss the inevitability of ending life. While it’s not meant to be taken literally, this portrayal makes the idea of death more approachable, fostering reflection on life’s transient nature and encouraging deeper philosophical or emotional engagement.
