We can argue that Dickinson sees death here as nothing but guide to eternity.

In the poem Death is not sinister nor scary, instead its a courteous and patient gentlemen that is there to guide the narrator even though she had not time for it. He accompany's her until its her time and though then things get bit spooky it is worth it as in the fourth stanza she arrives at her destination which is eternity. She relishes that death is not death, but immortality.

Explain how reversal and recognition occur in "Antigone" and which character goes through this and HOW. Must be at least two par

The explanation of the reversal and recognition that occur in "Antigone" is the reversal of fortune.

This is shown as Creone is transformed from a position of power and pride to one of humility and disgrace based on the tragic events that occurred to him.

After his downfall, it is clear to see that recognition occurs to Creone as he experiences anagnorisis or recognition.

<h3>What is Recognition in Narration?</h3>

This refers to the switch in a story or narration where a character becomes acutely aware and he changes from a state of ignorance to awareness.

Hence, we can see that recognition occurs to Creone in the story as he is the King of Thebes and he is proud and very powerful when he decides to uphold his law which Antigone broke, his pride becomes the source of his downfall.
