The grim reaper is always shown as a cloaked man with a skull for a face and bony hands and he carries a scythe with him, with which he reaps the harvest of souls. One of the most primordial fears of death is symbolized by the grim reaper. He is the very manifestation of the fear of doom. Since medieval times, this symbolism of the grim reaper has been around in the collective human psyche. He is supposed to be the messenger of death who rips the soul of people and transports it to the destination that it is meant for, which is either hell, heaven or a limbo! Death and especially the doubt whether there is life after death remains a mystery that humanity keeps pondering about.
