  • An Analysis of Imagery as Therapy: Emily Dickinson's Poetry and the Reader's Psyche

抄録

The frontal approach to Emily Dickinson's poetry and the best way of reading it without distortion is to analyze poems from the viewpoint of Christian faith. Unlike some traditional biographies and some psychobiographical criticisms, this thesis suggests another psychoanalytical criticism in which we focus on the highly therapeutic aspect in the images of the poetry. In other words, we carefully look into the imagery and try to know how we are comforted and uplifted there or, from the moral and philosophy it offers, to know how we learn to live with ourselves and with the world around us. Dickinson's poetry indicates the attitude of seeking for true healing and comfort. This attitude sometimes becomes skeptical and a little cynical, so that, all the more, it can stand side by side with or draw very near to a person in affliction. This is obvious especially when the reader suffers from a beloved's death, and reads some of the poems with the theme of the bereaved. The speaker with frankness, without any showing off, states the sorrow and the question toward God, "Why should it happen?" Because of its attitude of the honest inquitry, the poetry becomes the testimony which warrants that there is still the truthful answer, solution, and ultimate healing.
