Comment 2 of 12, added on January 12th, 2005 at 9:26 AM.

home burial ıs a dramatic poem about two event ın fact.one of
them ıs death of a young boy ,couples son.and the other one ıs
lack of communicatıon between two people who lıve ın the
same house.mother of the boy ıs very sad about the death of a
chıld and she shows ıt cryıng or seemıng mıserable
but father trıes to mask the paın usıng pysical effort.for
woman ıt ıs better to die than buring her cılh but as a
farmer man sees this a very normal and at the same tıme very
paınful process.and ın a way he trıes to forget hıs own
paın through thıs.hope thıs helps. by the way ın the
end the women trıes to go out and talk someone else and man doesnt
allow and he wants her to talk to hım ınstead of strangers but
woman goes and doesnt gove any chance to man.ın my opınıon
woman ıs rıght becouse she wants to see that as a father he is
sorry for his lost chıld but father ıs also rıght he doesnt
have to show his feelıngs ın the way she wants.and who ıs
rıght and who ıs wrong*ın fact thıs ıs not the
questıon.problem ıs that there ıs no communıcatıon
between them and thıs case ıs very sımılar ın all
pats of the world but women and men have to be together:)

robert frost it seems, was writting more to him self than to an audiance,
the lost of his first child must have left a gap of emptiness in his life.
when someone lose a love one, they will try to mask the pain of death with
some form of disguise, this is what frost wife see's, while awaiting the
actual burial of their child. people react in many different ways, the
outer appearence can be totally reversed on the inside. fear can play a
major role in determining how a person will react to death, assuming what
lies beyond death has always been a fear factor; frost was no different
from any other man, amy did not realize this. frost was at his best in
"Home Burial" he was saying, don't stand back and judge the outer
appearence of grief, while it is the inner man thet suffer.
