what are some of Emily Dickinson images and how do they work as metaphors?
One of Emily's images of herself included a child and also a tomboy. As a metaphor: "In this frame of mind, she portrayed a degree of vulnerability looking to others for protection. This was particularly marked in her relationship with her authoritarian father, whom she was eager to defer to."
