I would think that setting the scene of someone dying is appropriate to be in a bedroom where a sick person would most likely be (if not in a hospital) such as someone in palliative care for example and the bedroom stillness is commented on broken only by a fly and whose buzz perhaps accentuated the otherwise stillness. If the person's death was outside or in a public place it would more likely be the result of a, say an accident, or say an assassination such as that of Martin Luther King so since it is inside in a bedroom it indicates the dying is just a normal death from illness and/or old age.
Dickinson makes the experience of death universal by setting her poem in an ordinary bedroom.<span> She creates a deathbed scene and describes bare necessities such as the state of the people gathered around her and her “keepsakes,” which she has willed away, to portray the responsibilities that go with dying.</span><span> The choice of this setting as opposed to a public place shows the poet’s realistic and almost matter-of-fact approach toward death.</span><span> The bedroom setting allows Dickinson to keep some descriptions simple and direct, void of sentimentality.</span><span> </span>
We can observe that although the author could have simply finished the story in a conventional way he opted for adding an epigraph in order to highlight the concept of deaths and hell (and society's -mis-conceptions of both)
He has random mood swings, and he "Turns into his darker alter ego". I think they would be wary of him,but they would do everything in their power to help him.
