I'm pretty sure Emily is the crazy one

Much Madness is divinest Sense
Emily Dickinson

For some bizarre reason, the author believes that insanity truly lies in those who think they are sane. She states how the crazy people are actually normal, yet the people with "much sense--the starkest madness" (Dickinson 830). Anyone that seems to make sense, according to Dickinson, is a total lunatic and spouting out gibberish as though it were fact. Now she poses a paradox, which is generally an accepted and useful tool for pointing out flaws in societal thinking. her paradoxical line of thinking turns her message into one of anger and demand. Her stance comes off as a total wackjob herself when she starts to play the crazy detective. She states that all who agree with her opinions are the sane people, and all who oppose will be burned alive!!! Well actually she wants her opposition to be called maniacs and locked up, but it's still a extreme, power-hungry approach coming from a nineteenth century poet. So her views somewhat match the theme of her poet. She sets the law for those to follow, insinuating she is right, therefore sane, therefore insane. The title applies to herself, for her insanity is the most correct mentality.
