... An essay on the Comparison of two poems dealing with intense emotions In my essay I aim to compare the similarities and state the differences between two poems, Sylvia Plath's, 'Daddy' and Emily Dickinson's, 'I Felt a Funeral in my Brain.' These two poems deal with intense emotions and extreme cases of anger from the writer's own real life experiences. Sylvia Plath had an extremely traumatic childhood as her Father, Otto Plath, a German professor, died when she was only nine years old, and has always had to live with that. The emotions eventually took their toll on Plath and she committed suicide only a few months after writing 'Daddy'. Dickinson wrote her poems often under periods of extreme psychological distress, she spent most of her life isolated from the rest of the world, as she feared social situations. Plath's 'Daddy' and Dickinson's 'I Felt a Funeral in my Brain' share
