Emily Dickinson

             The two poems that I selected were Much Madness is divinest Sense and the soul selects her own Society. These poems reflected her life in many amazing aspects.
             Analyzing the first poem, much madness is divinest sense- I realized that she felt she had to hold in her madness from the rest if the world the same way she kept herself from the outside world, the world outside of her home and garden. She says that much madness is divinest witch means that it is holy and grace full, she also says that the starkest, the most severe madness is the majority. I think she is right because every one has a side of then that no one has ever seen, and the majority of people in the world have that madness but they cant express it but instead it stays bottled up like she did, bottled up in her man made world.
             The soul selects her own society is the most favored out of the two. I like how she makes the soul a she; I suppose that the soul is Emily Dickinson's. Dickinson's poems compliment her life greatly they speak of how she locks herself from the outside world, in The soul selects her own society she says the soul locks itself away where she sees the chariot and the emperor kneeling for her before the low gates. She maybe describing what she thinks will happen at the time of her death, which says a thing or two about Emily.
             Emily Gives me mixed feelings on weather she wants to die or weather she wants to choose her own fate when she dies. I feel that she wants to choose her own society of death weather it be heaven, hell or purgatory. Death is such a strong word thought because the first thing that enters your mind when u hear the word is hell or doom.
             I think all the critics where right about Emily Dickinson; she was way before her time. The woman was amazing, the words where there but you would have had to reach deep and really get a good understanding of the book to unravel and more understand the two poems.
