The paper discusses the ubiquitous and frequent practice of misrep-
resentations of the poetic text in the literary criticism. A comparative 
analysis of three articles, which analyze E. Dickinson’s ‘Success Is 
Counted Sweetest’, highlights such distortions and clarifi es their causes. 
As a solution to the current practices leading to signifi cant misrepre-
sentations, the paper comes up with an analytical method based on 
a series of reconstructive procedures that impose the relevant frames 
which set the parameters for identifying the meaning of the poem in 
a comprehensive and non-contradictory manner.
Keywords: poetry, frame, understanding, meaning, value confl ict, text structure.
