The subject of my work is The Living Death: Representation of Life Affected by Death in the Poetry of Emily Dickinson. I argued that her speakers life is immersed in sorrow while she anticipates and desires death. In the first chapter I described her accuracy in depicting the beauty of the surrounding world. However, beauty as well as the feeling of happiness are short-living states, as the speaker admits herself by finishing each of them with a pessimistic view of life. In the second chapter I concentrated on Dickinsons fears and obsessions which cause her existential pain. In this chapter I also wanted to show her criticism towards God who is not interested in his followers, thereby cares only about himself. In the third chapter I concentrated on death and how the speaker presents it. Moreover, I depicted grave as a reoccurring symbol in her poetry. As I concluded, death in Dickinsons poetry is omnipresent and, more importantly, omnipotent.
