Why didn't Emily Dickinson get married?

Though it has never been proven, there were rumors that Emily Dickinson was in love with her best friend and sister-in-law, Susan Gilbert. She sent Susan over three hundrend letters over the course of their friendship. These letter were filled with demand for Susan's affection.

Most likely, however, these rumors were just rumors Many historians speculate that Emily Dickinson had a failed love affair with either the Reverend Charles Wadsworth, with whom she corresponded or Samuel Bowles, who was the editor of the Springfield Republican She addressed many of her poems to Bowles. In 1861-62 she had a crisis. In this year both men left her.

Wadsworth had moved to San Francisco and Bowles spent 1861 traveling inEurope. When he returned in the fall of 1862 Dickinson did not want anything to do with him Dickinson may never have been married because she suffered from severe depression. Throughout her adult life she was plagued by the constant death of close friends.

Toward the the end of her live she seldom left her home and rarely spoke to anyone face to face. Instead, she spoke to most people through a door.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
