What is the plot of Dickinson season 2
There is a fresh story for Dickinson season 2. In the previous season, the plot centered on the obsession of Emily with death. Although, there were also other highlights in the story such as the love between Emily and her best friend, Sue. Furthermore, season 1 also highlighted the issue of patriarchy. Emily’s father disapproved of women publishing.
Dickinson season 2 portrays Emily Dickinson’s road to fame. Showrunner Smith explained,
“Season 2 is really all about fame and the attention economy, which was a central concern in Emily Dickinson’s poems. She wrote many, many poems about fame and about running from fame or rejecting fame. But she definitely had an obsession about fame even if she was subverting it.”
Furthermore, Smith took to Twitter another glimpse of what will happen to season 2. She wrote.
“Dickinson really is as much a dramatic adaptation of her poetry as it is a historical depiction of her biography. This will become even more clear in season two.”
