Readers often have different opinions about the final stanza of the poem. Some believe it holds a tone of terror, while others think it expresses confidence and acceptance. What do you think

Hi. Did you forget to say that this question refers to "Because I Could Not Stop For Death" by Emily Dickinson

The end of the story shows a confidence and acceptance about death.

Explanation:

The speaker of the poem is narrating the moment when death came to seek him. He shows how death was chivalric and let him visualize many things during the journey.

At no time does the speaker show sadness or discouragement, nor a memo in the last stanza where he is comfortable with his situation and shows that he understood where the horses are taking him and the fate that awaits him. This is a sign of acceptance and trust.

wordsworth tends to see nature as 'out there'; a presence which surrounds humans, and contributes to human life, but is different from humans. if you look at a typical wordsworth poem (there was a boy, ye knew him well ye rocks) - wordsworth talks about nature as something that needs to be learned about and understood, nature is different from us.  

if you look at a byron poem (the isles of greece is a good one) - byron looks at nature mainly for what it already means to man. wordsworth will look at a landscape and see the mountains, trees, valleys, and rivers as almost spiritual presences - wordsworth wants to get to know nature.  

byron will look at the same landscape and he will want to know who lives there, what are the villages? are there any farms or mines, is there some history?  

wordsworth looks at nature for what it is; byron is forever asking what it means.  

wordsworth thinks that humans are part of nature; byron thinks that nature is part of being human
