Emerson Essay, Research Paper


As a family tree branches off into many different catagories


of family members, the conflict of self vs. society and the world


branches in the same fashion leaving many levels and types of


indiference that cause the inequality between you and ?them?.


Attitude, confidence, self expression, shyness, openess, etc., are


all aide or stall action to stay within the stream of the norm or


step out of the stream and dangle your wet toes on to society


and except any result and reaction that is returned by the worlds


looks and opinion on you. Negative or positve. As we read and


study Emerson, we learn and are reminded of the often


mentioned ?soul? in his writing. The ?oversoul?which is also


mentioned alot is another facor to add tp the completion of the


SOUL. Your soul is what comes naturally.


? The action of the soul os oftener in that which is felt and


left unsaid, than in that which is said in any conversation. It


broods over every society, and they unconsiously seek for it in


each other. We know better than we do. We do not yet possess


ourselves, and we know at the same time that we are much


more. I feel the same truth how often in my tri

vial conversation


with my neighbors, that somewhat higher in each of us overlooks


this by-play, and Jove nods to Jove from behind each of us.?


— Emerson


In this paragraph Emerson is saying that a society never


excepts or is never able to except someones soul. Only the


?oversoul? which is what is given to society your look, your


attitude, your reactions, etc. To know someones soul or feel it is


to feel it without knowing that you just experienced it at all. We


know more then we think we do but there are glitches in our


?oversoul? that stops us from knowing the truths of our souls.


The ?oversoul? is what society either excepts our rebukes, and


the way you personally handle the reactions is how it will effect


you. I think that Emerson suggests as in a quote ?The world, – -


this shadow of the soul, or _other me_, lies wide around. Its


attractions are the keys which unlock my thoughts and make me


acquainted with myself. . . . I do not see how any man can


afford, for sake of his nerves and his nap, to spare any action in


which he can partake. . .? I take this as Emerson is saying that


letting society change and effect you changing your norm is


ubsurd.
