Death is a controversial and sensitive topic. When we talk about death, several questions come to mind about what happens in our afterlife, such as: where do you go and what do you see? Emily Dickinson is a poet who explores her curiosity about death and the afterlife through her creative writing. He shows different views on death by writing two contrasting poems: one from the softer side and the other from the more choppy, scary side. By looking at different observations about death you can see how private and special it is; it is also clear that death is inevitable, so dealing with it can be approached in several ways. Emily Dickinson's poems "Why I Couldn't Stop for Death" and "I Heard the Buzz of a Fly When I Died" show parallel and opposing views on death. In “Because I Could Not Stop for Death,” the speaker explains the passage of one's death from beyond the grave in a more tender way. At first, the narrator is too busy for death: “Because I could not stop for Death/ He kindly stopped for me” (Belasco 1338). The character will not wait for his life to end; rather the speaker will live life and allow death to come to her naturally. Death is what helps the speaker stop. Death causes the narrator to give up what made her so busy: “And I had laid aside / Even my work and my leisure” (Belasco 1338). Death offers the speaker a chance to reflect on life and its memories. “Death is depicted as the nineteenth-century “gentleman caller,” but one who arrives unexpectedly” (Greenberg 219). The speaker behaves kindly to Death because he feels that Death is chivalrous when he takes her in his carriage and gives her time when he has none. “The speaker encounters two entities in the carriage when… in the middle of the card… they contrast over their perception of death. This allows us to conclude that Dickinson sees death and the afterlife as undecided and unclear. Dickinson uses several strategies to highlight the changing character of death. In “I Heard A Fly Buzz When I Died” death means pain, but in “Because I Couldn't Stop for Death,” death is kind to the narrator. Dickinson indicates that death is unpredictable. Nesmith also writes that “while everything up until now is like a well-rehearsed play – controlled, orchestrated and written, proceeding according to ritual – an inopportune fly ruins the ending. Yet death happens anyway” (165). Death can mean different things such as the end of life or the beginning of eternity. Death does not follow a schedule and is far beyond human understanding. Death has many views and it is not always possible to plan it according to the plan of a human being.
