Caitlin Machnicki April 15, 2014 English 1020- 113729 Andrea Spearman In Emily Dickinson’s poem Because I Could Not Stop for Death, death is being described as a human characteristic and redefines the conflict between life and the peaceful eternity of death. Considering Dickinson’s poetic history, she was greatly influenced by the seventeenth- century of New England and had a fascination with death. Most of the time death is portrayed as something inevitable, irreversible and scary, but in this poem Dickinson does a great job reversing these ideas into something much more appealing. The authors use of alliteration, personification, and imagery throughout the entire poem helps mold the main themes of life, death, and eternity that she is so prominent for writing about. Firstly, the use of alliteration in lines nine through twelve are used to emphasize the importance of what the speaker is trying to say. “At Recess—in the Ring/ We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain—/We passed the Setting Sun—“ are all used to help the poem flow smoothly, somewhat like the peaceful carriage ride with death that the speaker is partaking in (Dickinson). Also, these three phrases help contribute to the overall theme because they all can be viewed as a simple ending. When the bell rings after recess that means that the break is officially over, fields of gazing grain are written almost as if they are lifeless just staring out into the present world with great wonder, and the setting sun is describing the sun at its last couple minutes right before it disappears into the night. All of these metaphoric terms are essential to this poem because as the speaker physically rides off with death, she knows that her time is officially over in this substantial... ... middle of paper ... ...final stanza, the speaker says that the centuries in which she had been dead seem to be shorter than the days which show the reader how her perception of time is somewhat off. Also, that the second she saw the horse’s heads and carriage she knew that she was going to be on her way to eternity. After the last line in the poem, it is left up to the reader to decide what exactly eternity holds and whether it is good or bad. In conclusion, Dickinson’s “Because I Could Not Stop for Death” is a poem describing life, death, and eternity all in one. Considering Dickinson’s isolated past, and many years of writing influential poetry she became an expert in using figures of speech, symbols and themes throughout her work. In this specific poem she uses alliteration, personification, imagery and her cultural beliefs to emphasize her popular themes of life and death.
