Answer 2

Emily Dickinson lived a reclusive life in Amherst, Massachusetts, where she focused on her writing and correspondence with friends and family. She was known for her unconventional style of poetry, which was not widely recognized during her lifetime. After her death, her work gained significant critical acclaim and she is now considered one of the greatest American poets.

Answer 3

Isolated (due to her reclusive nature)


Overshadowed- by both the patriarchal society she lived in and her own father


Deprived -she utilized self-deprivation in order to give her life more clarity and force her emotions to be more vivid and intense, and she also suffered from an ocular disease that left her deprived of any form of daylight for months at a time


Thoughtful- Dickinson's poetry is reflective of the fact that she was constantly challenging the barriers of reality with the human mind, the spiritual, and the unexplained. She explored themes of religion, nature, transcendentalism... Her poetry teems with these themes


Dark- She was fascinated by death, mortality, insanity, the limits of the human mind, and what the afterlife entailed (whether that included a God or Heaven, or whether the extraordinary circumstances of death were as mundane as a fly buzzing)


Hmm, that's about all I can think of off the top of my head. Hope this helps.
