History of the Author

In the history of American poet, Emily Dickson has been credited as the best woman in the field of poetic literature. Her work has been revised in the numerous Editions and categorized in various love poems. She was born in Amherst, Massachusetts in the United State of America on December 10, 1830, and she lived until 1886 when she died. Men and women never knew her resourceful skills and knowledge beside publication of 1775 poetic writings. Her formal and informal way of communication was poems and this remained her focus on the social, political and economic issues in poetic writings (Johnston and Jeremy, 89). Up today, Emily’s deceptively uncomplicated versions are given green lights for its imagery version, originality version as well as stylistic complexity.  She spends her live in the mansion of which her grandfather built. The Dickinson household comprised of Emily, older brother, her younger sister, semi-invalid mother, as well as a domineering father. 

            During her education, she was among bright student whose English language was smart.  She graduated from Amherst Academy in 1847; she then attended Mount Holyoke Seminary for Females, which was a boarding school, Southern Hadley. Dickinson never marry, she had a number of friendships with men (Johnston and Jeremy, 123).  Among them was Benjamin Newton, who was a worker in the office of her father, he served as her counselor and introduced her to the works of Ralph Waldo Emerson as well as other distinguished transcendentalists.

             Emily Dickinson enjoyed her life in Amherst. She left Massachusetts only once, to visit her father in Washington, D.C., in 1854, he was among the Congress executives. During her trip, she happened to meet Reverend Wadsworth Charles, who was married and a Presbyterian minister of Philadelphia. They became close associates. A lot of stories of a loving connection have since disseminated. However, she was tremendously fond of him thus was very much disillusioned when he enthused to California in 1861, there is no tangible proof that they were lovers (Dickinson, 90). Despite her extremely felt, zealous love poems plus letters, it vestiges uncertain whether or not Emily Dickinson was ever express stance about a definite relationship. She one time explained that in her poems, as private as it seemed, she was not essentially referring to herself

First scholarly source

            The scholarly source is “Because I Could Not Stop for Death”, this is a negative perspective of marriage in which the author gives her own views about the death and how it has made the world a place of passage. The value of the author Emily Dickinson put her on the independence from the worldly convention; however, there is fear she had to be fascinated by them. The author had her own macabre attitudes of death as well as a romantic depiction of her own anticipation of death; this scholarly poem is just an argument of marriage in which the highlighted views as well as the smothering effect of marriage that can have on the independence side of a woman (Rahayu and Suci, 74). 

            In the article “Death” is personified like a suitor who takes his latent bride away from her busy life. At this particular time, an independent woman particularly in the England, Emily posed an intimidation of the social order, in which female gender was placed in society with equal chances beside their male partners. Emily Dickinson is a husbandless woman, and she has more expectation from the community.  The narrator describes her journey towards death as a journey whose destination is known as she is prepared for. She puts the whole scenario using a literal form she recognizes the carriage’s final end is her grave that people no longer witness about her suitor. In various stanzas of this scholarly, poem, there are various forms of personification in which death is a prompted biographer. Death always comes as stature like a person. In this particular research, death is given a natural look such that men and women cannot avoid. It is an obstacle between life and grave.

Second scholarly source

            In the scholarly article, the imagery of carriage as well as the allusion to the graciousness of the “gentleman” thus the poem utilizes language and the rituals of courtship to demonstrate the real situation of life on earth and may be afterward. This particular scholarly article is the poem, “Because I could not stop for Death”. The poem has valued Emily Dickinson as the dignified woman in the society in which her contribution is amicable. The poem placed her independence role from the rest in the social issues of the society from the worldly convention.

Emily Dickson, she had fear as being ensnared (Rahayu and Suci, 54). She is placed in the society in macabre attitudes toward the issue of death as well as a romantic rendering of her imagined bereavement. The argument about marriage is given weight and the woman in the community perception she is placed in a situation such that, marriage is among basic issue in the woman’s life.

            The poem opens with a stanza which presents with a narrator in her busy life. There is a visitation of a gentleman in form of personification of passing away. Death is given a specific role in the society as it balances the heaven and the earth. Death is a time line situation in which one must appreciate besides being an obstacle in the timeline in the life of the men and women in the society. The society, therefore, has learned from Emily that death is natural as well as romantics is also natural.

As from the imagery of carriage as well as the situation of the politeness the “gentleman” .the poem talks about the two coming together to make a family the author puts it as a leisure but the ritual dependence of male nature cannot be ignored in the society. The next stanza gives a catalog of the journey sites. The two passes a farmland, schoolyard, as well as the sun which is setting.  As per the three used images, they show phases of the life cycle in which the speaker has conceded and is passing through and clue the society in her incident.  Emily bats this particular point she is unable to differentiate between the inside as well as the outside worlds.

Third scholarly source

            This short article of Thomas H. Johnson, whose essential 1955 edition of Emily Dickinson’s  work of poetry recognized both canons as well as the chronology, “Because I could not stop for Death” (J.712) in 1863. In this particular article, Death in a personification of a unique suitor and it calls on the narrator and takes her to ride of a carriage, together with one other person along for the ride named Immortality; in addition, they ride gradually since death is not in a rush and the narrator has graciously put sideways all her work as well as the play to go with him (Chris, P 54-78). Similarly, there is passing of the familiar sights such as school kids, an arena of grain, as well as the sunset. Also, the heat drops whereas the narrator becomes conscious of her insufficient clothing.

            Various stanzas gave a real picture of death neither t any other reward do justice to the diversity of interpretation intrinsic in the poem. The issue of the Death is construed like a courtly lover as well as a bogus seducer (Rahayu and Suci, 54). In the same way, the narrator might be implicit as a willing as well as an unwilling associate. The clothes imagery of the fourth stanza, a gown made of delicate and a tippet of tulle, suggest both a nuptial dress and a nun’s practice. Most fascinating of all is the final outline (Dickinson, P26-38).

            In the particular scholarly article poem, time has provides a post situation structural interpretation, in which the key emphasizes it shifts back plus forth in between the temporality as well as the timelessness. The gender parity has been worthy of the community culture and the pride of the girl child in the society. The poem is archetypal of Dickinson’s unconventional style and this is indicated within the ballad structure she is assumed to have adopted from well-known hymns.

            In conclusion, Emily Dickson, and her work is a substantial indicator of girl child role in the society. She describes death as uncertain which is separated with love and human nature. The personification she used at most shows a lot of imagery that in allusion men and women have to be given equal roles in the society. I learned that death is part of us and marriage is source of happiness regardless of economic status of the couple. Emily Dickson besides her amicable girl child education, she demanded marriage as a core value in human life.
