Philip Larkin to be analyzed. I select Larkin’s poem entitled Aubade was the perfect representation on one of the recent societal problems which is natural, and
so, in order to have the best review about all the conditions and also aspects which were influencing the poem production process, I will use the new criticism in
literature point of view. To complete the study in this final project proposal I will apply the
textual approach. The object of this study in this analysis is Philip Larkin’s poem entitled Aubade which is published in 1980. In this analysis I take the original

3.2 Types of the Data
The type of the data in this final project is descriptive qualitative study. I used one poem of Aubade by Philip Larkin to look at the way of a man in appreciating the
fear of death towards atheism point of view and finding the depiction of atheism in Aubade poem by Philip Larkin. Since the object of this final project is a poem,
there are some stanzas in each poem. The data will be in form of description and identification of the text of the poem itself.

In this analysis the researcher has two main roles. They are as follows:
