        <description><![CDATA[You might be able to boil the poem down into one statement: Don't envy the rich!
The previous poster's comments are right on the mark but don't address the lines

In fine, we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.

Exactly why Richard Cory kills himself isn't explained or even hinted at in the poem. Maybe he was indeed sad and lonely, or maybe he was being blackmailed. Who can know what was really going on...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The main idea in the poem is that appearance and human value do not always coincide. In the poem, Richard Cory is seen by other people as having it all. He has a great reputation. He looks good. People think highly of him.
However that is just surface reality. Underneath all of that is a sad and lonely man who kills himself.
The idea is: do not judge another person's life or happiness by what you see on the outside or by their external...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Your question is perhaps not as clear as it could be, but in the poem, “Richard Cory,” Robinson uses several strategies to develop the strength of the poem. He uses a rhyme scheme of “a,b,a,b” which seems to highlight the capriciousness of life in this simple yet grim. Robinson also uses “And, And he, And Richard Cory, etc.” numerous times. This creates a sense of the narrator clicking off a list of things because s/he doesn’t...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Edwin Arlington Robinson is the author of Richard Cory and using specific words(diction) to convey a magestic sense to Cory but in a sarcastic or ironical manner.
For example "...from sole to crown" "...he glittered when he walked" "...richer than a king"
"Clean favored and imperially slim" , "And he was always quietly arrayed" these are some exaples to show his majesty. In addition, "and admirably schooled in every grace..."
He uses these...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The trick of the poem "Richard Cory" by Edwin Arlington Robinson is the interplay between what is seen of Richard Cory on the outside, and what he is truly on the inside. The title is the clue to the theme of the whole poem: Richard is a king's name. Cory, implies the core, the heart, the true, hidden inner self of the man.
The poem describes Richard Cory as someone to be looked up to and admired by the common people, the "people on the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In Edward Arlington Robinson's poem, "Richard Cory," there is metaphor upon metaphor.  Richard Cory is described with glowing, unstated comparisons, reflective of the fact that he himself has become a metaphor for what he really is.  That is, the "people on the pavement," the seemingly mundane people, have so glorified Richard who is "richer than a king" that he no longer possesses a real identity for them.  Instead, he represents what...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I have to do Research Paper on Richard Cory with 8 sources to support the reason why Cory killed himself.  My reason is because he had a relationship with a fairden maid and in the result there was a child out of wed lock.  I could not find any critics that support for the statement.  Can you help me?
Thank you

        <description><![CDATA[The poem "Richard Cory" is structured in such a way as to emphasize the differences between the rich and the poor. We know that Richard lives in the more affluent "uptown" because it talks about " . . .whenever he goes downtown." When the narrator talks about Cory being a gentleman from "sole to crown" we realize he means head to toe, but a crown is also something that a royal would wear, and Cory is referred to as "imperially slim."
The rhyme...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Situational irony is when information is hidden from the audience and other characters in the story. In Richard Cory, both the townspeople and the audience are unaware of how unhappy Richard Cory is until he takes his own life. The audience experiences the situation through the townspeople's perspective. The townspeople are jealous of Richard Cory because he seems to have everything. They don't realize that despire his wealth and prosperity he...]]></description>
