4. How do we talk about it?
The young man, it appears, has passed on to the netherworld, as it were, that men must all acquire in their finality.
Archaic because:
Diction: words like netherworld not used often today.
Syntax: there are several parentheticals in this sentence, and the construction “men must all acquire in their finality” shows an older voice.
Treatment of the subject and Figurative Language: Ironically, death is usually not something “acquired” (like money, for example), though we still “pass on”
