In the first stanza, the author states that Death “kindly” stopped for her. Why is describing the stop as “kindly” important to the poem’s theme? The author uses the word “kindly” to make Death seem polite, adding to the idea that death may be pleasant or gentle. The author uses the word “kindly” to contrast with the theme that death is something to be feared. The author uses the word “kindly” to make death seem two-faced, demonstrating that while death may appear gentle, it is not. The author uses the word “kindly” to show that she does not know how she feels about death, supporting the theme that we cannot ever really understand death
