I felt a funeral in my brain by Emily Dickenson : Sydney S

Sydney S. gives us an in depth reading on 'I Felt A Funeral In My Brain' by Emily Dickinson. Sydney annotates stanza by stanza, explaining that the 'I' in the poem is actually the person in the casket. She tells the listeners that even though the person is dead, they still hear, see, smell, feel, and taste. While the person is dead, it is a slow process to lose all feelings of being alive. Sydney also gives helpful tips for reading poems, such as watching closely for the author's punctuation, and suggests poems for readers who connected with Dickinson's.

It’s about a descent into depression or madness.

[@foxxsenpaii]

The poem is about loss of sanity/self or depression, not a physical funeral

I thought the poem was about a person going crazy...

[@archiewoosung5062]

Doesn't Dickinson give the idea of the dead person having some kind of consciousness of their own funeral? Perhaps she had some idea of the "soul" (or at least the dead person's consciousness) hanging around for the funeral?

Thought this was about depression?
