Because I could not stop for Death by Emily Dickinson

This poem talks about death. It mainly talks about how death has stopped for him even though he couldn't stop for him. In this poem, death is portrayed as a good person. Emily Dickinson tells her readers in this poem that Death is not always mean that he will wait for you even if you don't want to wait for him.

People often try to portray Death as an evil thing that comes to take you for eternity. People have told this view for centuries. Emily Dickinson did not follow that concept and decided to write about Death in a more friendly way. Usually people would talk bad about death and portray him as a thing that comes and takes you away for eternity. Emily portrays death has a kind thing that waits for you until you are ready and leads you through eternity seeing your love ones as you leave.
