본문내용

However, although Dickinson was influenced by the conventional faith that people have chance of resurrection after their death, Dickinson shows skeptical perspective about the conventional faith and kept doubting about the existence of the resurrection. Her poem reflects her thought about death.

< 중 략 >

As a poet who was “forced to accept the Puritan beliefs,” (Vasanthi 8) Dickinson did not meekly follow the conventional faith that there is a “Resurrection” after the death of the faithful believer. Instead, she kept thinking about the existence of the “Resurrection.” Through her works, she delivers the reasonable suspicion about the “Resurrection” after the death, danger of the blinded faith, and the nihility of the blinded belief of “Resurrection” to the world outside of her small conventional village.

< 중 략 >

At last, by suggesting the nihility of the death and the “Resurrection,” Dickinson provides a chance for her readers to contemplate their life and faith, to experience a hearty religion.
