I need help comparing and contrasting 2 Emily Dickinson poems. I have to write a four page paper so any help would be greatly appreciated. poems to choose from:
"I'm Nobody! Who are you?" "Success is Counted Sweetest" "After Great Pain, a formal feeling comes" "Much Madness is Divinest Sense"
I have to compare things like poetic devices, meaning, theme, use of language/words etc. Thank you for any help you can give me!

"And at her grave in the West Cemetery on Triangle Street, they toast her life and art with elderberry wine and recite their favorite poems."Emily Dickinson enthusiasts flock to her old house. I would guess it's like the scene Jim Morrison's grave, but with embraced cronehood and support hose. Home

The preoccupation with an individual's sex appeal isn't a twentieth* century invention (You can bet that Byron was the subject of a lot of chamber gossip in his day...you can also safely assume that Khalil Gibran wasn't), but I think the condition of this preoccupation has been exacerbated by a visual culture in which the success of an entertainer or a politician or, these days, even a writer, can depend on just how telegenic said person is. From the sounds of it, this exacerbated preoccupation is being projected backward at Dickinson. If the thrust of the documentary was "Dickinson was eccentric and an interesting literary figure, but the real questions is, would you do her?" then, no, I don't think that is at all relevant to her status as a poet.
*(It wont officially be the 21st century until I get the flying car I was promised back in the 80s.)

Maybe wishywashy for a critical piece on Dickinson, but for a piece about a documentary on Dickinson, I don't feel a more entrenched or justified or explained opinion on Dickinson was necessary. Its all about the doc.
Do you really feel Dickinson as sex-object is relevant?

I'd say it isn't irrelevant. It's wholey relevant. However, it's bad taste and scholarship to make it the centre of the piece, no?
Her opinion was wishywashy, I thought.

Bookninja, I'd say Jefferson makes her opinion of Dickinson very clear in this article. Some examples:
"Dickinson is honoured, even worshiped by writers (including me)."
"Sometimes I want to wring the neck of every bobolink I find on the page."
"Some of her poems are so packed with image and meaning you feel you're splitting the atom when you read them."
She does make this documentary sound terrible. Why does examining Dickinson as a "sex object" seem like examining Jessica Simpson as an "enigmatic genius", or examing a red kangaroo named Gus as the "French Dart Throwing Champion"? It just doesn't make any sense to do so. It's off the mark. It's irrelevant.

The Mythological EmilyMargo Jefferson offers an opinion on a Dickinson doc,** but doesn't really offer her own on Emily. Home
