摘要

The peculiar images,the boat and the sea,often recur in the poems of Emily Dickinson,the great American poet,which well reflect her internal conflicts,the conflicts between being an autonomous woman and being a passionate yet submissive woman.In her poems,the sea is a symbol of the male-dominated society or an individual man.While the little boat is the epitome of Dickinson:sometimes it wants to be strong-willed and clear of its destination,sometimes it just wants to moor in the sea and enjoy the calmness.The paper tends to reveal the psychological struggle of Emily Dickinson and show the whole image of her as an individual through the analysis of the images of boat and sea in Dickinson’s poems.
