Emily Bronte: The Night is Darkening Round Me
Emily Bronte’s poem, The Night is
Darkening Round Me, is an interesting poem because of the way it presents the
feeling of suffocation and loneliness. The
night darkening around her, the giant trees weighed down with snow and the
storm that is quickly descending are images that allow the reader to imagine these
surroundings and creating the feel of suffocation from the environment
within the scenes. Throughout the poem,
the narrative is alone facing the darkness and the feeling of suffocation; the
line “the wild winds coldly blow” adds to this sense of loneliness. These feelings
that this poem provides, leaves the audience to wonder if Emily Bronte felt
suffocated or lonely in her own life.
