Dickinson was “one of the greatest English poem poet”, and the poet created 1775 poems in her lifetime, a quarter of which is death poems. To analyze the characteristics of the death images of the death poems is particularly important for respecting Dickinson’s artistic achievement in poetry. Emily Dickinson studies death from all angles, and expresses her true feelings in her poem. Characteristics of the images in poetry should be grasped to be able to understand the essence in them. Though not comprehensive enough obviously, through this thesis readers are able to have a rough glimpse of the extraordinary, unique artistic style of this genius female poet.
