English: Daguerreotype of the poet Emily Dickinson...Her situation of isolating herself from life reflected her self to her poems. And thus she became to reflect her inner self to those lines she created in her poems. In her poems as I mentioned above,she mostly mentioned about the death theme. Her pessimistic life was reflected directly to her poetry life and as a result of this fact there occurred pessimistic,gloomy poems witten by Emily Dickinson. Briefly,we can say that her isolation caused her to write death themed poems.
Dickenson ,in her life,did not experience many things no doubtly and this is displayed in her poems. She had a life lacking of many things like marriage,love or many similar things and this made her concentrate on only one thing which is the end of life:death.
However, her fame as a poet is no doubtly great and her writings are still being read...
