| Abstract | ||
| Abstract The present study aims at shedding light on death in some of Emily Dickinson's selected poems. It is divided into three sections and a conclusion. The first section is an introductory one. It is devoted to the definition of death and how it became a recurrent theme in literature. It gives examples from the ancient works of literature which show how many feared it and stood puzzled in front of its destructive power. It also alludes to some aspects of Emily Dickinson's life and views towards death as they appear through her autobiography and letters. The second section tackles the anxiety of death in Emily Dickinson's selected poems. It concentrates on the staggering of the poet between faith and faithlessness in addition to her failure in love and the loss of her lover. The third section talks about the images of death. It tackles some positive images where death comes to be a lover who accompanies her as a bridegroom or a lover-towards eternity. Other images come to be negative where death seems to be a destructive power which cuts the continuity of life and turns it to a limitless silence. The images of fly, darkness, and snow also contribute in showing death as a foggy, mysterious world. | ||
