Much Madness is Divinest Sense

Oh Emily. This poem is a huge paradox. The speaker says that if you conform to society and you go along with what everyone is saying, you are insane. If you go your own way and believe your own things, then you have sense. It is talking about the opinion of the majority and uses mental illness as a metaphor for it. According to the speaker, by assenting you fail to think. You just go along with what everyone else is doing and simply skate your way through life. This paradox has truth in it because if you don't think for yourself, you will end up making decisions that you regret. So demur (?) society and it's tendencies!
