Dickinson - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details
Easter Eggs
In the Season 3 episode "Grief is a Mouse," the Taylor Swift song "Ivy" plays over the final moments of an intimate scene between Emily and Sue.
Fans of both Taylor Swift and "Dickinson" had long speculated that the song "Ivy," from her album "Evermore," was written about the secret, forbidden love between Emily and Sue. Its inclusion in this pivotal scene was a direct nod to the fans and served as a confirmation of this popular interpretation, perfectly underscoring the themes of their relationship.
In Season 3, Emily has a surreal conversation with Sylvia Plath (played by Chloe Fineman).
This is a anachronistic meeting of two iconic, and often misunderstood, female poets. The scene allows the show to comment on Emily's legacy and how future generations, represented by Plath, would interpret (and sometimes misinterpret) her life and work, particularly her reputation as a lonely spinster.
