Death (Discworld)
Death is a fictional character in Terry Pratchett's "Discworld" series and a parody of several other personifications of death. Like most Grim Reapers, he is a black-robed skeleton usually carrying a scythe. His jurisdiction is specifically the Discworld itself; he is only a part, or minion, of Azrael, the universal Death. He has been generally used by Pratchett to explore the problems of human existence, and has become more sympathetic throughout the series.
Discworld
Due in part to the complexity of the novels, "Discworld" has been difficult to adapt to film – Pratchett was fond of an anecdote of a producer attempting to pitch an adaptation of "Mort" in the early 1990s but was told to "lose the Death angle" by US backers.
