Why I Couldn't Stop for Death is considered Emily Dickinson's most famous poem. This poem reveals Emily Dickinson's calm acceptance of death. She portrays Death as a gentleman who surprises her with a visit. Emily illustrates everyday scenes in a life cycle. Although his metaphors explore death in an imitable way, his lines often contain as much uncertainty as meaning. Life and death are nothing but paths to eternity and are seen as less important when viewed in the framework of eternity. Emily Dickinson's poem Death is a gentleman taking a woman for a ride. Since I could not stop before death, He graciously stopped for me” (Dickinson 1-2). Emily describes herself as a busy woman, involved in everyday situations. When it comes to death, no one plans the time or date to die; what Emily identifies as a tragic event results in a random experience. Emily writes, “The carriage contained only ourselves and immortality” (3-4). Emily describes her run with death, but associates a third horseman with Immortality. “Davidson does not emphasize what is achieved after death; emphasizes what is lost through death” (Privatsky 35). Emily's third passenger has a wide variety of interpretations. We don't normally think about death, yet Emily's approach to death is similar to her approach to immortality. My point of view is that Emily portrays her belief in a soul that does not die but lives until eternity. “The idea of ​​immortality is confronted with the fact of physical disintegration. We are not told what to think; we are told to look into the situation” (Tate 26). In Dickinson's words, he drove slowly, he did not know hurry (5-6). Emily describes a slow, relaxing pace towards an unknown destination. Along the way she likes peaceful scenes. “We passed the school, where the children struggled, during recess – In the Ring-” (Dickinson 9-10). Emily is reflecting on her past, this can also be seen as the beginning of a life cycle. Emily then goes on to say: We passed the cornfields- (11). The phrase she decides to use is judicious because she is not the observer, but rather the observed. At that point, he goes on to describe “Setting Sun-“as the last scene of his run.” All three of these images suggest stages of the life cycle that the speaker has gone through and is going through and give us insight into her experience... Time has stopped for her, and the cornfields look on, not her," ( Semansky 34-35).
