Question 10 • (OC27) ENG 4-1001400-S2-VRobinson-VOL7006P
The setting sun is a familiar symbol of life coming to an end, which fits the poem’s journey toward death. Because readers readily understand this symbolic image, Dickinson does not need to describe it in great detail. The image contributes to the poem’s meaning rather than being an unimportant part of the plot or mood.
