Why does Dickinson set the poem “Dying” in an ordinary bedroom, which isn’t even described? What might be her purpose in choosin
Naddik [2931]
I believe the setting of a death should be a bedroom, as that is a place where a person suffering from an illness would typically be, especially in palliative care. The quietness of the bedroom is only interrupted by a fly, whose buzzing perhaps highlights the otherwise tranquil atmosphere. If the death were to occur outside or in a public venue, it would likely stem from an incident or an assassination, like that of Martin Luther King. Thus, a death occurring in a bedroom suggests a natural end due to sickness or old age.
