Much Madness is divinest Sense

Much Madness is divinest Sense produced by Emily Dickinson truly creates an allegory worth contemplation. It pulls so many different aspects of life into the short eight line poem. It brought forth the notion that society is all but sane and only those that are insane have the right idea. It made me consider wether those that have finally gone insane have been those privileged enough to speak to the Gods. Do the Gods create all of the mayhem that is here on earth? Idea after question after idea continually popped into my head until I read it again and realized how wonderfully written this poem was done. It demands discussion, it declares abnormality, and it truly delves into topics that are without our knowledge in the here and now. The thoughts created by the line, "Assent-and you are sane-,"(6) builds the notion that those in the "right" state of mind do not know the correct way to live and think. Only those that oblige in dismantling society have the ability to see the world as it should be.
