My Life had stood- a Loaded Gun-
By Emily dickinson

My Life had stood - a Loaded Gun -
In Corners - till a Day
The Owner passed - identified -
And carried Me away -

And now We roam in Sovreign Woods -
And now We hunt the Doe -
And every time I speak for Him
The Mountains straight reply -

And do I smile, such cordial light
Opon the Valley glow -
It is as a Vesuvian face
Had let it’s pleasure through -

And when at Night - Our good Day done -
I guard My Master’s Head -
’Tis better than the Eider Duck’s
Deep Pillow - to have shared -

To foe of His - I’m deadly foe -
None stir the second time -
On whom I lay a Yellow Eye -
Or an emphatic Thumb -

Though I than He - may longer live
He longer must - than I -
For I have but the power to kill,
Without - the power to die -

1) In the poem what is the relationship between the gun and the owner?

2) is the owner a male or female?
How can you tell?

Why is it ironic that dickinson is comparing herself to a "loaded gun"
(Especially during this time period?)

Answer 1

1) The gun and the owner have a good relationship because of the rage of the gun. They both lend something when they go to hunt and in the beginning the gun was carried away by the owner and later smiled about it because the gun felt useless as an unused yet loaded gun.

2) The owner is a man because in the poem it says he, him, and Master in the way of speaking to and about the owner of the gun.

3) It is ironic that she is comparing herself to a loaded gun because women in that time were supposed to be polite and thoughtful and she just was in a rage. because she hadn't had the chance to express herself.
