Immortality is a context which however hard has been tried to be defined has always been an unfulfilled want or desire for man. There are a lot of contexts that discuss the mortality of beings, how the inevitable encounters them. Lots of novelists and poets have tried to incorporate the very same context in their works.

One of the finest examples that can be taken into consideration for a vivid citation is Wordsworth's odes. However, his work touches different contexts at the very same time. We will today uncover what context of mortality turns its path otherwise.

All beings though mortal, have tried to prove otherwise commemoration of their existence. They do so by erecting their statues for the following generations to be remembered and even aspire the same till eternity.However, in this world governed by mortality, there is something, rather a species that is immortal as it never dies, unless killed. Turitopsis Nutricula now known as turitopsis dohrnii is a species of jellyfish that is claimed to be and rather actually is never vulnerable to any kind of expiration or extinction.

It's funny how the word extinction is placed after expiration because if something never expires it is impossible for being vulnerable to extinction. However, we can never leave that consideration out of inclusion, as there is always something more than meets the eye. That's how mother nature turns out to be.

You might as well now be wondering how a species can be immortal. It is rather surprisingly true, turitopsis dohrnii reverts itself back to its infant stage when it attains sexual maturity, and this process becomes like an endless cycle. This is what makes them immortal. Isn't it funny that it is immortal only because it does not exist in the domain where humans exist? Had it been so there would have been nothing called immortality concerned with this species.

Do you find yourself to be drawing any parallels here? A peek through the curtain might as well give you certain glimpses of reference of the infamous concept of the backwards law by Alan Watts. As discussed at the beginning of this article, humans have tried their way best to defy inevitable mortality, and in possible ways commemorate themselves by erecting statues and monuments.

One such example can be Percy Bysshe Shelley's Ozymandias in which the poet has discussed the power of nature. Therefore the harder they try to immortalise their entity the more they find themselves in ruins.

But the interesting point here is that the only reason that the mentioned species of jellyfish is immortal is that it is not disturbed by human intervention or any of their nearby existence. This can be considered a parody of the satires that dominated the literary era of the latter part of the 18th century which witnessed the masterpiece of Jonathan Swift Gulliver's travels, which can be cited as a great example for the same.

Wondering if gulliver satirized humans, he did actually. What makes us human is mortality, however, it never is a weakness for their part until they fail to acknowledge the inevitable. Humans were ridiculed on account of their treason, greed, betrayal and vengeance by the Jacobean playwrights and this tradition was sustained, but it reached its peak with Swift's work 'Gulliver's travels.

Is man's fate predestined or depends on the actions governed by his free will. Can a man be ever refrained from sinning?
