Compare and contrast LightDarknessJuxtaposition, which often associates life with light and death with darkness; FireWaterJuxtaposition, when one of those elements has a creation motif and the other a destruction motif; LightningFireJuxtaposition, when the same happens between lightning and fire; ElementalRivalry, when "[[GreenThumb Life]]" and "[[{{Necromancer}} Death]]" are treated as elements in a work, and BirthDeathJuxtaposition, which is when the act of being born is juxtaposed with the act of dying. Compare InterplayOfSexAndViolence. Expect {{Symbolic Baptism}}s to play with this type of contrast. A character embodying this is in a MortalityGreyArea.
