Death (The Sandman)

Death, from Neil Gaiman's "The Sandman" series, is a personification of the end of life. Unlike the grim and scary image often associated with death, Gaiman's portrayal presents her as a compassionate and nurturing figure who guides souls gently to the afterlife. She is depicted as a young woman with a dark, whimsical aesthetic, reflecting a blend of comfort and inevitability. Death represents an essential part of existence, emphasizing that life’s journey includes mortality, and encourages readers to cherish their moments and understand the natural cycle of life and death.
