Emily Dickinson's Capitalization and Punctuation

Emily Dickinson's poetry is one of the most famous poems of the 19th century. Dickinson's poetts stand out by using uppercase letters that are not of that type and the use of punctuation. Her poetry contains words written in capital letters, but it is not usually written in capital letters. Her poetry is known for frequent use of sprints. Literature tries to explain Dickinson 's non - traditional capital letters and punctuation. Some think that this is only part of Dickinson's calligraphy (Weisbuch 73). Therefore, they edited the poems of Dickinson and published it in a standardized form.

& Lt; Tab / & gt; Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman also have dramatic differences in punctuation. In Dickinson 's poem she wrote her punctuation marks. She used irregular capitalization. She likes to use important words for her. In her 249 poetry, she used a lot of capital letters. "Wild Night - Wild Night! My wild night with you should be our luxury! In vain - wind - compass - complete the chart! Moor-Tonight-In The ! "(Dickinson 1128). People can understand what is important to her and what she is passionate about. Dickinson likes to run around her poems with her exclamation point and dash. Joan Kirkby stated that her intention to punctuate and poetry is special (136). On the other hand, Walt Whitman mainly uses correct punctuation and capital letters for poetry.

The capital letters and punctuation marks of Dickinson of this verse are contradictory. In the first section there is no internal noun, even "soul" is not capitalized, "Gale" and "Bird" are capitalized in the second quarter, but are not to be "stormy". And "I" was capitalized in three sections, "Land" was not capitalized. The end of the scratch mark and the pause of the internal rhythm (except the second to last row of the poem marked with three commas). These discrepancies support the claim that Dickinson 's eccentric capitalization and punctuation may be a handwriting habit, not emphasis and pacing equipment.

Irregular capitalization can often be seen in Dickinson's poetry. Another remarkable feature of Emily Dickinson is that she uses her happiness. She is using irregular capital letters in the middle of the line to break the traditional way to get unexpected results. Focusing on uppercase words is attracting the attention of readers. At the same time, they recorded the truth and complex emotions of the poet about life. Dickinson's irregular capitalization is more effective than irregular lowercase letters. These words are like a beating drum in my heart, I convey the high and low of the poet's soul and imitate her emotional rhythm. In the next verse, capitalized words have several functions.
