Question

In "Because I Could Not Stop for Death", who are the three passengers in the carriage?

• A. Death, the Speaker, and Immortality
• B. Death, the Speaker, and a Child
• C. Death, the Speaker, and a Priest
• D. Death, the Speaker, and a Sibling

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Death, the Speaker, and Immortality

In Emily Dickinson's poem "Because I Could Not Stop for Death", the carriage contains three passengers: Death, who is personified as a courteous driver; the Speaker, who is taken on the ride; and Immortality, suggesting that the journey with Death leads to eternal life. The inclusion of Immortality adds a layer of complexity to the poem.
