fate we are given isn’t always the fate we want. Three poems with this idea were Richard Cory‚ The Growth of Lorraine‚ and Miniver Cheevy. By analyzing these poems and how they are written‚ one can see that they cover the same idea and all depict a protagonist stuck in a world they do not want to be in. All three poems show the reader that our fate is not always the way we would like it to be. In Richard Cory‚ his life seemed great considering he had money‚ education‚ and was loved by the town but

Notwithstanding their shared theme‚ the poems clearly differ in many ways. Firstly‚ while Robinson uses the unfortunate narrative of “Richard Cory” to display how people can get carried away with the notion of judging a book by it’s cover; Dunbar uses the symbol of a mask‚ which hides our true inner emotions and lies to others about our trying situations‚ to portray the theme of appearance vs. reality.
