In “I Felt a Funeral in My Brain” by Emily Dickinson, the speaker expresses the collapse of her mental stability. The poem takes place in the speaker's mind, which serves as the location for the funeral, as described by the speaker. Dickinson's use of style, rhythm, rhyme, and aural imagery emphasizes the gradual deterioration of the rationality of the speaker's senses. The poem opens with "I felt funerals in my brain/and mourners back and forth", the poet uses capital letters to emphasize the speaker's tactile sensations or something in particular (1-2 ). The capitalization of “Funeral” and “Brain” is significant because death occurs physically inside the speaker (1). The funeral is an apt metaphor to express the turmoil that arises in the speaker's brain. “Mourners,” a capitalized word, move “back and forth,” which, compared to traditional mourners, these actions are peculiar (2). The final lines of the stanzas follow: “I kept walking—walking—until it seemed/that the meaning broke through—,” introduces rhyme and rhythm through aural imagery (3-4 ). The rhyme scheme of the poem is ABCB where the second and fourth lines of the stanzas rhyme in a slanted manner. “Fro” and “through” are the slant rhymes of this stanza. The auditory imagery of the repetitive “step” of “The Mourners” evokes the stomping of feet, which introduces a regular march to the rhythm of a funeral procession (2.4). This marching rhythm in the speaker's brain introduces the idea of ​​constant, constant pressure on the speaker's mental process. The repetition of trampling emphasizes the action because of its capacity to bring about “the breakthrough of meaning” (4). “Meaning” is defined as being fragile because it can be broken (4). The speaker is physically......middle of paper......recked" and "solitary" (16). Dickinson returns to the style of ending stanzas with a hyphen, placing only the emphasis on the third stanza as a transformative stanza the final stanza states: “And then a plank in reason, broke,/And I fell lower and lower —” serving as a metaphor for standing on a plank. to describe the speaker's final descent into mental instability (17-18) The speakers clung to her mental stability, causing her to "crash a world with each plunge" (19). other stanzas, the last words of the second and fourth lines do not rhyme, which is used to emphasize a transition The speaker's final articulation stops midway, ending with "so...", suggesting that. the speaker could have committed suicide because the crushing of her “soul” and the numbing of her “spirit” prove unbearable. Ultimately, the burial marks the death of the speaker's spirit. (20,8,10).
