- 211: Comparison of "Speaking of Poetry" and "966"
- ... them. Unfortunately both of these literary works end on a downbeat. There is an implication of the inevitable end to both loves (Othello smothers Desdemona after Iago tells him that she has been unfaithful, and Dickinson states her regrets over the choices she has made in the pursuit of her love.). In “Speaking of Poetry” states that it would not be enough to out wit the father for she still would ... up smothered. Bishop says Othello is a barbarian and that he would have killed her any way, “For though Othello has his blood from Kings his ancestry was barbarous, his ways African his speech uncouth.” Dickinson implies how impossible their relationship was in the simple phrase, “Overlooked I all-”, this I interpret as how she ignored her senses. She knew it wouldn’t work yet chose to ignore her better judgement. Another thing that stands out is the styles that these are written in (especially Mrs. Dickinson’s choice of style).

Hearst paid any salary he had to without a care, for he had millions his disposal, since his father was still funding the enterprise. Hearst married young Millicent Willson, a parallel to Kane's Emily (Swanberg 246) Bernstein's narration ended with a telegram from Kane announcing his purchase of the largest diamond in the world. Bernstein commented to Leland, Kane's best friend, that Kane was not collecting diamonds ... Swanberg 402). At this point, however, the two tales differ. Kane was defeated in the election when his affair with Ms. Susan Alexander was exposed by his opponent, Jim Gettys, who basically ordered Kane and Emily to come to see Ms. Alexander.

- ... gotten one for the slightest flaw that her child had. Harriet asked her sister to help her. She asked her to switch babies for a couple of days until she got the certificate of normalcy. Emily refused and even had the nerve to call her sisters baby a monster. When Joseph joined the conversation he became so full of pride that that he did not hear Harriet s cry for help ... she should be greatly sorry for having to commit such a sin of bringing a child into the Strorm home.
