__I Felt A Funeral, In my Brain__, does this talk about her funeral or is she trying to explain something greater? Emily Dickinson worte peoms based on poems about gospels and flowers but her most used theme is morbidity and death. Dickinson's second cousin died of typhus in 1844 an dthis traumitized Emily and from there on out her poems contained depressing ideas and themes. In __I Fealt A Funeral, In my Brain__, Dickinson may be talking about how after her sister died she wouldn't leave the house for years but eventually decided to leave and publish her poetry. A funeral in my brain, now what does this mean? Is she saying that she feels dead inside or is it more of the fact that she feels depressed? I don't know but Ms. Dickinson faced many hard problems when she was a live and fought with depression for many years. I think that she just wrote what she truly felt.
