Life of Isolation

As a father of a daughter I do not agree with the way that Emily Dickinson spent her life. I think that instead of spending so much time alone she should have been trying to start her own family. I do not mean that she should have been off being promiscuous by any means but she should have been a little more social in my opinion. Although her parents did die and that did take a a great tole on her she should have managed her grief in other ways, not just locking herself alone and writing. On the other hand I know the feeling of enslavement because I too have felt that by my brother's doing, however instead of sitting locked in a room I made it so that I could have my power and self respect back. I did what I thought necessary, whether that mean tricking my daughter or enslaving spirits. I think that Emily Dickinson should have spent a little more time around people and trying to work herself up after the loss of her parents.
