in part because they are so fixated on reclusive ness and the act of dying. Human nature is to fear death. Human nature is to sometimes want to lock oneself in a room and not face the world ever again. Dickinson not only did it but she wrote about it as it happened, thereby giving her readers a forever theme to cling to and examine. Dickinson's life created the backdrop for her fear of death. Her apparent obsessive personality provided the focus she used to complete the 1,700 plus poems that were found after she died.

Could this be another manifestation of her obsessive personality. If one combined her fear of death with her OCD tendencies one can easily understand her theme of death that runs through many of her poems.

She was unloved by her parents, her friends gave up on her when she would not socialize and she eventually was left all alone. Her only friend was religion.

In the next stanza there is an underlying understanding that everyone is dying as they live. When she talks about slowly driving and putting away labor and leisure it indicates the path of life as people age.

Many people who fear death fear not being with those that they love anymore. This seemed to bother Emily as well for in her poem she talks about willing possessions away. Willing things that she had to will were the only thing that she could leave behind and she made it clear with her stanza about willing her possessions away.
