Emily Dickinson
My favorite writer is Emily Dickinson.Like Whitman, she broke the limitations of her time.Though she left us more than 1770 poems, only several of these poems are published before she died.From her twentieth, she began to get rid of the contact with society.So we do not know much information about her, which made us feel hard to know the exact meaning of her poetry.Her style was influenced greatly by Emerson.Though she almost did not go to the outdoor, she lived a colorful spirit life.She was very important in American literature.The themes of Emily Dickinson’s poems are love, nature, doubt and faith, suffering, death and immortality.For example, she writes To Make a Prairie… and I Died for Beauty, but was Scarce.The style of her poems is terse and frequently imagistic style.That style is very modern and innovative.Dickinson explores the inside world.Her poetry is marked for her concise, direct and simple diction and syntax.Although she had normal and vivacious girlhood, her poetry illustrates the doctrine predestination and peimism, so that her basic tone was tragic.She sees nature as both gaily
benevolent and cruel.On the ethical level she emphasizes free-will and human responsibility.Like Emerson, she holds that beauty, truth and goodne are ultimately one.She says “For Beauty,” I replied—“and I--for Truth--Themselves are One— we Brethren, are,” he said--
The artistic features of her poems lie in her innovation in rhyme and her structural patterns.She used “consonance” which means similarity of final consonants.For example, in Succe Is Counted Sweetest, in the second stanza, “today” and “victory” are consonance.Another rhyme she used is aonance: the final vowels correspond, but the consonants are different.Her major pattern is that of a sermon: statement or introduction of topic, elaboration and conclusion.There are three variations of this major pattern.Firstly, the poet makes her initial announcement of topic in an unfigured line.Secondly, she uses a figure for that purpose.Thirdly, she repeated her statement and its elaboration a number of times before drawing a conclusion.The characters of Emily Dickinson’s poems are as follows: first, frequent use of dashes, such as the poem I Died for Beauty, but was Scarce;second, sporadic capitalization of nouns;third, convoluted and ungrammatical phrasing;forth, off-rhymes;innovation in rhyme;fifth,compreed, broken meters;sixth, bold and unconventional and often startling metaphors, for example, “ And so, as Kinsmen met a Night— We talked between the Rooms--Until the Mo had reached our lips— And covered up—our names--”;seventh, aphoristic wit;eighth, begin with “I”, such as “I’m nobody!Who are you”;ninth, ambiguity of meaning and syntax, this is because we do not have enough documents about Emily Dickinson;last, elliptical—she will say no more than she must, because she was influenced by the doctrine of her religion.
