In both poems, the poetic element that stood out to me the most is the use of personification.

In "This Is My Letter To The World," nature is personified as being able to speak, "The simple news that Nature told"(3) Dickinson states that she cannot see what was told, but asks that the countrymen do not judge her regardless.

In "Because I Could Not Stop For Death" she applies personification to death, who appears to be the driver of a carriage, arriving to take the speaker into the afterlife.

"Because I could not stop for Death -

He kindly stopped for me -" (1-2)

Dickinson's speaker is describing her experience with death. In the opening stanza, she was too busy for death - but Death had enough time for her - and was civil enough to stop .

"We slowly drove – He knew no haste

And I had put away

My labor and my leisure too,

For His Civility –"

Death's "civility" caused her to drop everything that occupied her time before his visit, and she enjoyed the carriage ride instead.

<h3>What is Characterization?</h3>

This refers to the role of characters in a play and also the way they are described to the audience either directly or indirectly.

Hence, we can see that from the complete text, we can see that the dark side of people in the story goes to show how fundamentally evil people can be in a given situation and cause harm to others.

What is dynasty antonym
sergij07 [2.7K]
In terms of governments, a Democracy or Dictatorship would be antonyms, or opposites. Polar opposite would be a Democracy since it is not ruled over by someone and instead is ruled by the people and state.
