Abstract
The current paper attempts to analyze the similes which were recruited by the American poet Emily Dickinson. Simile is an indispensable literary device in poetry which involves comparing one object with the other object. It usually draws a comparison between two unrelated things, but the core of this comparison is to establish a conceptual theme that conveys a figurative meaning. Typically, simile is an explicit comparison incorporating an imagery, while metaphor represents an implicit comparison between two dissimilar things in order to incarnate a certain image as well. The basic objectives of this research is to conduct a figurative analysis of poetic similes employed in Dickinson’s poetry in order to grasp their figurative meanings. The other objective is to classify simulations into ideal types.
