I’m Nobody! Who Are You? II. Point of View Who is the speaker in the poem? Who is he/she talking to? What is he/she trying to say? Qs: Why didn’t the speaker want “you” not to tell that there’s a pair of nobodies? Would there be some consequences if other people knew?

I’m Nobody! Who Are You? Who is the speaker in the poem? It can be the poet herself. (So Dickinson considered herself nobody?) 2. Who is he/she talking to? “You” can be someone that she knew. It can also be an imagined person, who Dickinson wished to know. (but, was she sure that “you” were also a nobody?) What is he/she trying to say? Being an important person may not be as peaceful and interesting as being a nobody. A lot of people desire to become famous, yet such desire, to the speaker (poet), is nothing more than boredom.
