Readers often have different opinions about the final stanza of the poem. Some believe it holds a tone of terror, while others think it expresses confidence and acceptance. What do you think? Explain your answer.

Answer 2

Emily characterizes Death as kind thing. Note, her wording when she says it kindly stopped for her, it's civility, and it's lack of urgency.

Answer 3

What do you think "A Swelling of the Ground" means?

Answer 4

1)The mask symbolizes skin color and the whole issue of racial discrimination. Wearing the mask refers to being perceived as different from everyone else, just because he is darker.

Answer 5

2)Yes, it could apply to others who are not African-American, because there was also discrimination against people of other ethnicities and skin colors...they were all wearing masks, just like the African Americans in the poet's time period.

Answer 6

4)The house symbolizes the grave, or death.

Answer 7

3)He's a civilized, polite person. The poet describes his "civility" and how he "kindly stopped" for her-he drives the chariot. 5) The poet does not have a tone of error here, because the inevitability of death makes life worth living. So death can be counted as a blessing when it comes-an immortal life on Earth would be a curse.

Answer 9
