A.Hill's angle of the summary

Before I read summary I only knew that the grim reaper could kill anyone it touches and take the spirit and lead it where it belongs after it dies, I had no clue it had to do with satan.

Thoughts About the Grim Reaper

Before I read this summary about the Grim Reaper also known as the "Angel of Death" I didnt know that he was ever thought to be involved with satan. The Grim Reaper to me is only a legend that someone made up just to scare people.

R.Coneal's angle on the summary

Before I read the summary, I didn't know that the Grim Reaper, also known as Death or the Angel of Death, was just a helper to guide the soul after you die. I always thought that he/she was the Devil's messenger. I also learned he/she had the hands and feet of a skeleton.

In folklore, the Grim Reaper is a genderless figure (assumedly male) who wears a dark cloak with a hood covering his face, and is renouned for carrying a scythe. It's hands and feet are normally that of a skeleton. Also referred to as Death, the Grim Reaper is said to kill anyone it touches.



In modern day storytelling, the Grim Reaper takes the soul of a person when it is their time to leave the living world. Many people believe Death is a messenger of Satan, but it takes life when it is the person's time, regardless of what happens in their afterlife.



Figuratively speaking, the Grim Reaper is in the gap between life and death, essentially helping people pass from the living world to that of the dead. He is the sign of Death, and his representation is shown on the tarot card for Death.
