Emily Dickinson had a view of God and His power that was very strange for
a person of her time. Dickinson questioned God, His power, and the people
in the society around her. ... She asked God
questions through writing poems, and believed that she had to wait until
she died to find out the answers. ... Many people in her generation just believed in God,
went to church, and looked highly on the events discussed during church
out of fear. These people were hesitant to ask questions, afraid of God,
and scared of Dickinson because she started to inquire about things that
only God was capable of answering. In Dickinsons poem, "I Shall Know
Why-When Time Is Over", she is describing her feelings toward God. ... Emily Dickinson feels, that the answers to these
questions will only come with death. ... After she dies and God answers all of her questions, Dickinson
then says: " I shall forget the drop of anguish That scalds me
now-that scalds me now!" This shows Dickinsons anger toward God. ... She wants to
be able to live without these questions of what God wants, because they
are deeply affecting her.
