The speaker of "Because I Could Not Stop for Death" believes he has a goal to reach, while the speaker of "Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church" believes he has achieved his goal.
Explanation:
"Because I couldn't stop for death" and "Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church" are poems written by Emily Dickinson. Both poems reveal the poet's very intimate thoughts about life, death and religiosity. In “Because I could not stop for death” we can see that the speaker is participating in a ride in the carriage of death. This speaker, the speaker, is curious and I believe his goal is to find out what will happen when death reaches its final destination, as this is an uncertainty that he wants to end. In “Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church,” on the other hand, the speaker reflects on religious practices and how these practices allow people to be dominated by religiosity. The speaker's goal was to get rid of this domain and he believes he managed to achieve this goal, as he refuses to practice religious practices, such as dedicating the Sabbath to church. The speaker prefers to stay at home, having fun and doing what he wants.
