emily dickenson

Two of Emily Dickinson's poems, "Because I Could Not Stop For Death" and "I Heard A Fly Buzz-," are both about one of life's few certainties: death. However, they’re few similarities and many differences even though they are by the same poet. The difference is both poems were written less than a year apart, their ideas about what lies before and after death differ. In one, there appears to be life after death, but …

…death as an end (I heard a Fly buzz). To conclude, the beliefs of the two Dickinson poems in regards to life after death differ significantly. In one, life does exist, in the other it does not. Though both are two different situations one knowing she is dying and one who had to be taken by death in a carage. Both have shown their reason of believing the way they do in each. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
