Quote:
"Cowards die many times before their deaths. The valiant never taste of death but once."
Julius Caesar Act 2 Scene 2

When looking at the quotation, "Cowards die many times before their deaths," it is difficult to imagine how someone could actually 'die many times' before they actually die. But of course here, Shakespeare, who can be difficult to understand at the best of times, is using death as a metaphor. The bard's words convey how a person feels inside when they run away from a challenge, and the coward, of whom the wordsmith refers, is a person afraid to face the many challenges of life, such as dealing with difficult situations, taking risks, and fighting for the very ideals of which they may believe in. All throughout the next phase of my life, I faced many such challenges, and it is because of this fact, that I name my second chapter;
To Die A Coward's Death
