Emily Dickinson deep down was a true rebel

One of the fun facts about Emily Dickinson is a real rebel. The parents of Emily were devout Calvinists. According to Calvinists, everyone is born into sin. A conversion to Calvinism is the only method to save souls. Emily has never done that. She is an Anglican. She attended church services every Sunday until she was 30 years old. Then she decided to stop. She said that through living at home, she discovered God. She was more of a scientist than a religious person, yet she never lost hope in the soul's immortality.

Her poetry reflects her rebellious spirit. One intriguing detail about Emily Dickinson is that she wrote her poems in a style that was a little "outside the box" for the time. She frequently employed dashes in her writing, for instance, and they varied in length.

Dickinson was disobedient on matters of religion and social rights in addition to punctuation. Even though she routinely went to church up to the age of 30, she identified as a pagan and wrote about how science can complement religion. Dickinson does not have a spouse or children, and she generally avoids in-person social encounters, choosing instead to correspond with the majority of her friends.
