Heathcliff’s understanding of injustice is to be treated badly throughout his childhood by what the master of the house would call his “siblings.”…

beyond the limits they previously thought they had. Life cannot be put on hold just because of loss and hardships, but this sometimes enables people to make irrational decisions, and many are left thinking was it the right choice?

To start off, I will be analyzing each of the poems written by Emily Dickinson. All of these poems mention heaven as an afterlife and are directed towards death. In poem 479, the words expressed melancholy and curiosity with the thought of death. This poem gave off more of a suicidal theme: "Because I could not stop for Death- He kindly stopped for me-" (101). To me, this meant that she may have wanted to take her life, but could not, so death will come someday come. The reason I use the word…

Dickinson’s poem “I felt a cleaving in my mind” represents the speaker’s indecisiveness to conform to traditionally women gender roles, resulting in a split crisis in this patriarchal society. Dickson illustrates images that represent how torn she is about her performance as a woman. The poem begins with the lines “I felt a cleaving in my mind/ As if my brain had split” (1-2) creating a strong image of an intensive division that the speaker feels.

In Emily Bronte’s novel, Wuthering Heights, people are able to sympathize with others when they have knowledge about the terms of their situation, and Bronte demonstrates this by including Heathcliff, an evil man by nature that receives sympathy from the reader because as humans, the reader justifies any of Heathcliff’s negative actions, to be a result of his situation, so rather than be angry, the reader continues to feel sympathy for them. Heathcliff is portrayed as a cruel and evil man…
