The relationship between god and the individual is a great unknown and a common theme in poetry. This subject creates many controversies since the beginning of times, by the fact that people think differently. Some people believe in god and that he was the creator of the universe. On the other hand, some people do not believe in god, but believe that the universe expansion started after a huge explosion. In Emily Dickinson’s “Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church” and “One Need Not Be a Chamber” the author explores her relation with God, giving examples of personal experiences. Accordingly, the author explores people traditions and how it affect the individual’ choices in life. The fact that Dickinson does not care about how her traditions

“Some keep the Sabbath in surplice, I just wear my wings, and instead of tolling the bell, for church, our little sexton sings” (lines 5-8). By the user of the word “surplice”, the speaker make some sarcastic comparison of what some people wear by going to church and what she wears, stating that she only wear her “wings”. In fact, this metaphor is further used to explain that she it’s no longer worried if she is going to heaven or not, based on how she follow the church traditions. In addition, throughout the text, it is clearly the author thinking that the chance of an individual is going to heaven, is not only based on how the individual follows the church traditions, by the fact that she does not seems worried about hers’. In the third paragraph, makes use again of sarcasm. “God preaches, a noted clergyman, and the sermon is never long, so instead of getting to heaven, at least, I’m going, all along” (lines 9-12). The speaker states that God do his job that is to teach us how to follow the right way when she says “God preaches”, then calling him as noted clergyman. Moreover, in “so instead of getting to heaven, at least”, the speaker explain that each individual wants to achieve something when they follow church’s traditions, which for most of people is going to heaven. As a result, the speaker make people reflect in the traditions that we follow, which for many times, shape our individual personality. …show more content…
The speaker proves it statement in the first lines. “One need not be a chamber to be haunted, one need not be a house, the brain has corridors, surpassing material place” (lines 1-4). The author states that anything can be haunted, not necessarily a specific person. By on focusing on the words “haunted” and “brain”, the author means that the brain can be haunted as any other subject object, because it has corridors and dark places, which is definitively a frightening thought. Since the begging of the poem is possible to see the author capacity to affect or make the individual think about things the normally they do not pay much attention, showing the strength of the author’ poems. Accordingly, in “The Scene of Meditation in Wordsworth” Mark Hewson agrees with Dickinson ideas of a haunting mind. “The analogy between the evocative power that the scene exerts upon the meditative mind and the elegiac convention by which the natural world joins in the poet’s mourning is considered for illustrative purposes” (Hewson 956). By this analysis, hewson claims that analogies can create a big influence upon the meditative mind by the how the author explores and express his idea, which many writers do in order to give more “power” to their writing or illustrative purposes.
