Critic: Emily Dickinson’s poetry demonstrates that meaning cannot reside entirely within a poem itself, but is always the unique result of an interaction between a reader’s system of beliefs and the poem; and, of course, any two readers from different cultures or eras have radically different systems of beliefs.
Summary
Emily Dickinson’s poetry demonstrates that meaning is not derived entirely from a poem itself, but that meaning is the unique result of the interaction between a poem and a reader’s beliefs. Any two readers from different cultures or time periods have radically different beliefs.
Notable Valid Inferences
A modern reader and an ancient reader would interpret a poem in exactly the same way.
A
A reader’s interpretation of a poem by Dickinson is affected by someone else’s interpretation of it.
Could be true. We know that any two readers have different beliefs, but it is possible that some readers’ interpretations could affect the interpretations of other readers.
B
A modern reader and a nineteenth-century reader interpret one of Shakespeare’s sonnets in the same way.
Must be false. We know that any two readers from different time periods have different beliefs. Therefore, it is impossible for a modern reader and a nineteenth-century reader to interpret a poem in exactly the same way.
C
A reader’s interpretation of a poem evolves over time.
Could be true. We know that every reader of a poem has a different interpretation, but this fact does not preclude the possibility of a reader’s interpretation changing over time. Interpretations could change over time and still be unique.
D
Two readers from the same era arrive at different interpretations of the same poem.
Could be true. We know that any two readers from different cultures have different beliefs. These different beliefs cause these readers to interpret a poem differently.
E
A reader’s enjoyment of a poem is enhanced by knowing the poet’s interpretation of it.
Could be true. We know that each reader has a unique interpretation based on each reader’s belief system. It is possible that a reader’s enjoyment is enhanced while maintaining a unique interpretation.
