Much Madness is Divinest Sense
In the poem "Much Madness is Divinest Sense", we learn a lot about the personality of the writer Emily Dickinson. The poem talks about her frustration with the society that she lives in. The poem talks about people who are sane, versus the people who are insane or have madness. She is trying to say that what society believes is madness maybe might not be true. Maybe she is trying to tell the reader that maybe the societies view may be the opposite of reality. The poem's title suggest that madness can be a good thing. It suggest that madness is the "divinest sense" that all people should strive to achieve. She also talks about how madness is perceived differently by different people. "Much Madness is divinest sense to a discerning eye" (Dickinson, 1-2). Dickinson is implying that those who see the world differently than the rest of us, may be the sane people after all.
