    Yes I saw a play about her life and it was really sad to the point of disturbing.

    yes she was morbid but she had a rather miserable life so it sort of makes sense.

    Morbid maybe. She was obsessed with death.

    She was the proto-goth. Read into that whatever you like.

    I don't think morbid is the correct word, but here is my favorite:

    A Death blow is a Life blow to Some
    Who till they died, did not alive become— Who had they lived, had died but when They died, Vitality begun.

    By Emily Dickinson.
