Because I couldn’t stop for death by Emily Dickson and...

First of all, based on both poems, the attitude of the poets is influenced by the diction of the poems as well as tone and mood. In Emily Dickinson’s poem, in line 1, 2 Because I couldn’t stop for death –He kindly stopped for me the word â€Å"death† delivers a positive mood as the speaker seems respect and awe death. Moreover, death is portrayed as a phenomenon that is beyond ‎human’s control. Death has its own control; it is something that human cannot decide themselves but only death can do stop for human, invite them into its carriage, not vice versa. In ‎addition, the word â€Å"kindly† in the line presents calmness to the readers as death is not something that human should scare off. Besides, the word slowly and the phrase no haste in†¦show more content†¦However, in contrast to Emily’s poem, the speaker undervalues death’s supremacy as its power is actually not in its own control. It is a contradictory to Emily’s poem. In line 9 Thou’art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men indicates death as a slave as it does what has been ordered from the superior ones. Death takes human’s life not because he is willing to do so but because he is forced to do so. In line 10-11, â€Å"And dost with poison, war and sickness†¦ can make us sleep as well† the speaker associates death with poison, war and sickness as death is not the only factor of human’s deceases which then the speaker posts rhetorical question for death to stop being proud. Also, the usage of rhetorical questions like in line 2 â€Å"For thou art not so† makes death fragile. Further, the last line in this poem â€Å"And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die† points out that at the end, the only one who dies is death itself which will be discussed in the element of Christian theology in this essay. The ending also eventually argues that death is weak and vulnerable, not in control and that is the reason why human should not fear death. All the arguments made by the speaker in this poe m creates death less powerful and less control of itself which illustrates a condescending tone to elucidate death’s incapability to kill. Hence, both poets; Emily Dickinson and John Donne portray death as a phenomenon that human should not fear. But
