Abstract:Dickinson’s life is closely related to flowers. The images of various flowers are widely dispersed in Emily Dickinson’s poems. By analyzing the flowers’ images, Dickinson successfully expressed her inner world. The images of flowers in her poems are closely related to the particular society where she lived. Her garden life is the resources of her poetic creation. She chooses flowers to symbolize women’s low social status in men dominated society. The hidden images and symbolic meanings help to illustrate the true themes of the poetry. Dickinson’s poems include four themes: Life, Love, Death and Immortality, and Nature. By analyzing them respectively, this paper express Dickinson’s different viewpoint on these four themes. From the themes of her poetry, we know that Dickinson’s attitude towards love is brave, and she has a strong faith in her life. About death, she has no fear; for nature, she loves it much. As her works do not meet the aesthetic taste of the time, she was still alive but not be appreciated, and her works also nobody care at that time. Dickinson used rose to symbolize her unfortunate fate and her reclusive life.

摘要:狄金森的一生与鲜花有着不解之缘。鲜花的意象广泛地分布在她的诗歌中，借助一种鲜花，狄金森可以很好地表达出她内心的想法。狄金森诗歌中的鲜花意象与其特定的社会环境紧密相关。她的园艺生活是其诗歌创作中永不衰竭的源泉，她以鲜花象征女性，象征男权社会之下女性低下的社会地位。借助象征主义的手法，很好地揭示了诗歌的真正主旨。
狄金森的诗歌包含四个主题：生活，爱情，死亡和永生，以及自然。通过对它们的分析，本文向读者展现了狄金森诗人对这四个主题独特的态度和见解。从她诗歌的主题里，我们知道她对待爱情是勇敢的；对待生活是有很强信念的。关于死亡，她毫不畏惧；对于自然，她无比热爱。由于其作品不符合当时的审美趣味，她在世时得不到赏识，作品也无人问津。狄金森用玫瑰短暂的生涯和不为人知的处境来影射自己多舛的命运和隐居的一生。
