Emily Dickenson’s “Because I Could Not Stop For Death,” is a nice tranquil poem, even though it is a poem about death. Compared to other poets, death is seen as a horrible thing, but Dickenson writes otherwise. The speaker in this poem is calm, in which the speaker realizes that death has come. Death kindly takes on a human form, of a person that drives a carriage that picks up dead people. ... Dickenson contrasted how long death can be and how short life is. As for message, maybe one should live life to the fullest, because death “knew no haste” (463). ...
However, in Dickenson’s “I Heard a Fly Buzz – When I Died,” death is seen as a part of life.
