It was a little confusing to really understand what she was interpreting throughout the poem. She makes this poem so interesting because she represents death I’m different ways and at the end it all result she was already death. In other words it makes me understand it really doesn’t have a final at the end. We conclude that the speaker was dead we found out this until the last stanza. The speaker was the whole time a spirit, but was still thinking her final day. She sounded so peaceful in the first stanzas probably she was ready for her death. She ends it with “eternity,” on the poem and enacting eternity to descending out to the infinite. It was too many mysterious to fully explain. Life and death are both parts of life and fate. As teenagers we really don’t go to that about the significance until in the long run. When become adults that we start dealing with the death and by the time our minds are more developed that we could be able to feel emotions. Life and death are a natural cycle we have to be on conscious will not live forever I wish we would, but that’s the rule of life. Death will be an experience we will have to undergo on our lives. Eventually everyone is going to die and no one will stop by happening

    There is probably no one, among people, who has not considered death as a subject to think about or the events, people, and spirits that they would face after death. Also, since we were little kids we were asking our parents what death is and what is going to happen after we die. People have always linked death with fear, darkness, depression, and other negative feelings but not with Emily Dickinson, who was a reclusive poet from Massachusetts who was obsessed with death and dying in her tons of writings. She writes “Because I could not stop for Death” and in this particular poem she delivers a really different idea of death and the life after death. In the purpose of doing that, the speaker encounters death which was personalized to be in a form of gentleman suitor who comes to pick her up with his horse-drawn carriage for a unique death date that will last forever. In fact, she seems completely at ease with the gentleman. Additionally, their journey at the beginning seems pretty peaceful; as they pass through the town, she sees normal events such as children who are playing, fields of grain, and a sunset. After this, dusk takes place and the speakers gets chilly because she was not ready for this journey and she did not wear clothes that would make her feel warm. Consequently, readers get the idea that death is not a choice, so when it comes, that is it. Emily Dickinson, in her poem “Because I could not stop for Death,” uses personification, imagery, and style to deliver her positive and peaceful idea of death and life after death.

    Overall, dwell on this process of changing throughout the poem, it can be understood that the poet is demonstrating a particular attitude towards life. Everyone declines and dies eventually, but it would be better to embrace an optimistic, opened mind than a pessimistic, giving-up attitude; face the approach of death unflinchingly, calmly.

    The opening line “I cannot let you die” (Line 1) represents how much the persona loves the reader and wants that she/he should not die. Immediately, the persona explains her love by saying “I block factual death” (Line 2). This shows that she doesn’t want you to die and she could block death with any fact. Again the second line ‘I’ is used to explain the persona’s love with ‘you’ that she can use any fact to block the death. The binary of “I” in the first two lines and use of ‘you’ before the last word “due” explains the relationship between ‘I’, ‘you’ and ‘death’ in the second line. The binary use of ‘I’ in first two lines and closing them with rhyming words ‘die’ and ‘death’ create the punch line of the first stanza that no one wants his/her loved ones to die and they could try to block death using any fact they can. The link of first two lines in with line 7 and 8, that by blocking death she will “There fix you shining / In a place of sun” (Line 7, 8). The interesting link between the first two lines of Stanza 1 and last two lines reinforce the feelings of love and hate for death that everyone will block death to let their loved one shine like the

When we stop and think about what death will be like, we wonder what it will feel like, will it be painful, will it be scary? In Emily Dickinson's poem Because I Could Not Stop for Death, she focuses on what the journey into her afterlife will be like. Dickinson uses the first person narrative to tell her encounter with death. The form that she uses throughout the poem helps to convey her message. The poem is written in five quatrains. Each stanza written in a quatrain is written so that the poem is easy to read. The first two lines of the poem, “Because I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped for me;” (Clugston 2010), gives you a clear view of what the poems central theme is.

    Dickinson doesn’t have the speaker complain about dying and be trying to avoid it instead she is calm and just riding along with death. She sort of goes on a date with him and is driving around taking their time to get wherever they need to go. When you get to the end you realize that she is already dead, and that’s why she wasn’t fighting it, because she was already there. The speaker had come to terms with what had happened and was reliving the moment when it happened. As one would expect, dealing with death, it was darker than her poem about hope.

  • Death In Dickinson's Because I Could Not Stop For Death

    1314 Words  | 3 Pages

    The speaker is reflecting on her experience from life to death. In the first stanza, Dickinson (1863) writes “Because I could not stop for Death/He kindly stopped for me” (line 1). To me, this shows that the speaker was too busy to even think about the possibility of death. In life we are often bouncing from one subject to another, from one moment to the next that you are never really thinking about when death might come. Death is often in the shadows of our mind and is rarely a subject that is give any attention. Even the speaker was not thinking about the possibility of dying, it simply happened. You are reminded again that the speaker in the poem was not ready for death when Dickinson writes, “the Dews drew quivering and chill/ for only Gossamer, my Gown” (lines 14-15). Death came during the night to gather her up and she was not properly dressed for the

    1435 Words  | 3 Pages

    Dickinson 's poem uses poetic devices of personification to represent death, she represents death as if it were a living being. Dickinson 's capitalization of the word “DEATH”, causes us to see death as a name, in turn it becomes noun, a person, and a being, rather than what it truly is, which is the culminating even of human life. The most notable use of this, is seen in the very first few lines of the poem when Dickinson says “Because I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped for me”. In her poem Dickinson makes death her companion, as it is the person who is accompanying her to her grave. She states that death kindly stopped for her and she even goes as far as to give death the human ability to stop and pick her up. The occasion of death through Dickinson use of personification makes it seem like an interaction between two living beings and as a result the poem takes on a thoughtful and light hearted tone.

  • Identity and Ideology Beyond Death in Emily Dickinson's Poem “I Died for Beauty”

    1592 Words  | 4 Pages

    Emily Dickinson had a fascination with death and mortality throughout her life as a writer. She wrote many poems that discussed what it means not only to die, but to be dead. According to personal letters, Dickinson seems to have remained agnostic about the existence of life after death. In a letter written to Mrs. J. G. Holland, Emily implied that the presence of death alone is what makes people feel the need for heaven: “If roses had not faded, and frosts had never come, and one had not fallen here and there whom I could not waken, there were no need of other Heaven than the one below.” (Bianchi 83). Even though she was not particularly religious, she was still drawn to the mystery of the afterlife. Her poetry is often contemplative of the effect or tone that death creates, such as the silence, decay, and feeling of hopelessness. In the poem “I died for beauty,” Dickinson expresses the effect that death has on one's identity and ability to impact the world for his or her ideals.

    With her use of imagery, Emily Dickinson is able to govern how the reader feels and reflects about death. In her poem, "Because I could not stop for Death," the word "could" signifies that death has occurred as a past experience. Due to this poem being based on a past event, Dickinson is able to use imagery to relate death to a fresh memory of hers. In the beginning of the poem, Dickinson writes, "Because I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped for me." Not only does Dickinson portray death as a man, but she does so in a way that the man is not perceived in a negative way. She writes as if the man is her lover, kindly stopping in a way as if he was to suit her. Death is not to be our enemy, but instead is our companion. In the next two lines, in lines three ...

    Emily Dickinson likes to use many different forms of poetic devices and Emily's use of irony in poems is one of the reasons they stand out in American poetry. In her poem 'Because I could not stop for Death,' she refers to 'Death' in a good way. Dickinson states in the poem that 'He kindly stopped for me --' (1103, 2). Death is not commonly known as being 'kind', which leads us to believe that Dickinson used this line to hint that death was a good thing. In the entire poem, she does not refer to death in a negative way. This shows more irony since death is often feared by many, either regarding themselves or other. This us of irony makes the poem more interesting to the reader.

  • Power Of Death

    700 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Because I Could Not Stop for Death, death is personified as an unintimidating guide in charge of bringing you to eternity. In the first stanza, death is said to be a kind helper. “Because I could not stop for Death—He kindly stopped for me.” (Stanza 1) Deaths job is not to take you away from life but lead you towards a new life: eternity. Dickinson goes further into describing death as knowing no haste and being a patient leader. In the carriage while being lead to eternity they pass the school where they see children outside playing. This symbolizes the innocence and happiness of life. “We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain—We passed the Setting Sun.” (Stanza 3) The gazing grain shows the simplicity and beauty of life. And the setting sun not only symbolizes the end of the day but also, metaphorically, the end of a life. Unlike other views of death as being a grim reaper, death here is peaceful and fearless, gently stopping you in your busy life so take you to immortality. In Death Be Not Proud, death is viewed as a more powerful figure. Just like in Dickinsons poem, death is once again personified. “Death, be not proud, thou...

    While we now know this poem as “Because I Could Not Stop for Death”, it was originally an untitled piece. After Dickinson’s death, her younger sister Lavinia discovered an abundance (in fact over one thousand) of untitled poems that Emily had kept to herself, never meaning for them to become published works. Against her wishes the poems were published, but the fact that this wasn’t her intention allowed Dickinson to feel comfortable while writing and let her thoughts flow unfiltered into her work. This is what makes “Because I Could Not Stop for Death” and other works like it even more meaningful as we can be assured that they are completely untainted thoughts and feelings coming directly from Dickinson’s heart.
