ABSTRACT
The concept of death is unique in Eastern and Western societies. In this chapter, the different realization about death is analyzed through “Taste of Cherry”. Death, which is not an end but regarded as a transition to a new life and a stage, appears in the representations of the film, and the ritualized death of the hero provides a transition to a brand new awakening with its symbolic meanings. The several effects of culture on death are tried to be highlighted in this chapter, which aims to handle the basic practices of death in the Eastern world in the context of Islam.
