After Emily dies she decides to go back to the living to relive her 12 birthday, how does she feel when she returns to the world of the living?

This is
one of the most interesting episodes in the play because Emily is like a ghost revisiting her
own home and cannot be seen by her mother or father, although she is visible to the audience.
She expected her visit to be an enjoyable one, but she quickly becomes saddened and wants to be
taken back to the cemetery. What troubles her, she says, is that the living can't understand how
miraculous it is to be alive and to go through the ordinary experiences of daily life. There is
more to it than this, more which Emily probably doesn't understand at the time but will
understand later.is dramatizing his religious thesis that existence is a continuous progression
toward enlightenment and a higher state of being. You can't go backward, only forward. Death is
only a higher state on the way to immortality. All the dead people at the cemetery warned Emily
not to go back in time, but she was still too attached to life to listen. She had to find out
for herself.
