  • That was well interpreted,however I believe that this poem is about Emily's life and outlook on the world.Emily was highly nonconformist and believed in whatever she perceived for herself (this is evident in Some Keep the Sabbath).In this poem it seems like Emily is unsure of why she failed to be accepted.Goliath symbolizes the world and common beliefs of society (since Goliath is a well-known religious charater) and sees it as a challenge.As Emily talks about the idealistic story she inserts herself as the unlikely challenger and a different outcome.Defeat.Emily dispays the realistic version of a modern (in her day and age) David and Goliath.
