If the gun represents a women who is in a relationship with a man, the owner, then throughout the poem the woman (or gun) thinks that they have control and are on the same level with the man, helping to hunt and protect. however, in the last stanza, the gun (woman) realizes that the whole time she has been acting only on behalf of the man and is not able to act for her own benefit.

Can a non loaded gun kill?

It could be used as a blunt object, or it might fall or be dropped from enough of a height it could kill someone by hitting them, but an unloaded gun won't kill someone by shooting them. All the same, you ALWAYS treat a gun as if it's loaded and keep it pointed in a safe direction.


My life had stood a loaded gun poem summary?

In the past, she "had" stood in the corner, without a purpose. Then a hunter found her, knew her purpose since he was her "Master," and used her to express her purpose. The gun can be seen as language; the hunter's shooting-- the expression of the gun--is creating poetry. The "doe" (female deer) is hunted and presumably killed, just as women writers have to kill or suppress a part of themselves to write. Hunting in the wood re-establishes a relationship with nature, a frequent topic in Dickinson's poetry. It also gives a sense of control (the Woods are "Sovereign"). The Hunter/Owner/Master may symbolize the poet-part of the speaker, poetic inspiration, or poetry itself--or something else altogether. The speaker prefers to stand guard over her Master rather than share a soft downy pillow; she rejects the softer life, the homelier alternative. The speaker's purpose, power, and control are destructive and bring the her joy and satisfaction, until, perhaps, the last stanza. The last stanza is difficult, tangled and perhaps indicates some confusion in Dickinson's thinking.

Are dams helpful or harmful?

Although most dams are built with the intention of creating hydro-electric power, which is a cheap and effective way of generating power without burning fossil fuels, or using nuclear power, they do often entail a major change in the local habitat, including moving complete villages or settlements. In one instance, when a large dam was built in Egypt, they had to move a series of statues that had stood on place since the times of Rameses. Dams may also kill fish or stop them from migrating to where they were born.
