Even amidst the random capitalization and dashes I was able to find meaning from this poem ALL BY MYSELF! This poem focuses on a theme of individual sanity and group madness. While society teaches us to go with a group or leaders opinion, Dickinson is crying for the world to do otherwise. To stand out against the ideas of the time and to be a individual person. She then talks about how the world hates people that stand out and how it strikes them down and beats them up (look at Martin Luther Kind Jr. or Dumbledore both spoke of love and equality and both got shot down). Overal a good messege to produce.
An example of another type of madness that is created is the ninja and pirates debate. In reality pirates have dominated the world for a great deal of time, however ninjas have become increasing more popular due to many loud people liking them thus causing others to follow in their mad ways. Let's be individual, prevail and be sane by bringing back pirates! Savy?
