person in history; by committing this intellectual fraud, he denies the reality of death in life and, therefore, it is he who suffers the most from the anxiety of death. Although the central characters in DeLillo's novel view "death" from different angles and often contradictory viewpoints, the commonality of their attitudes and approaches is that they are all appalled by the idea of ​​death. Finally, the anxiety of death invaded their daily lives. For Jack, death is an inevitable horror that becomes even more horrible because of its uncertainty, as he asks: “Does not our knowledge of death make life more precious? What good is preciousness based on fear and anxiety? It’s an anxious, quivering thing. » (DeLillo 79). Unlike Jack, Heinrich, the fourteen-year-old boy, takes death as it is.

DeLillo also tried again to see death from a different perspective. He argues that modern life continually strives to keep the anxiety of death as far away as possible. The lives of modern men are organized in such a way as to keep them unconscious of the anxiety of death by engaging them with objects of artificial entertainment.
