Much Madness is divinist Sense

In the poem, "Much Madness is divinist Sense", Dickinson declares that the crazy people have a "discerning Eye" (Dickinson, 830). They can see the world in which others cannot. Yet, they are persecuted by the populous for their differences. Their ideas are discredited. Due to their opinions, they are separated from the community. In certain cases, they are punished for thinking in a way that is not like the majority. She states that a person must have a sense of madness to voice his opinion. The person acknowledges that the opinion of the masses is not the only belief. Instead of being sane and withholding his opinion, he declares it. As a result, he is treated differently and persecuted.
