Brittany this poem is definitely not talking about the death of a wife it
is talking about the death of a child in which the father buries.

Yes,it's a really heart touching poem and has reveled lots of thing about
personal problem..It basically focuses what may happen when there is cold
communication..we should always give due consideration to communication
otherwise it may ruin our life as well as in poem.....

This poem is interesting. It clearly describes the relationship between a
father and a child, mother and child and also between a husband and wife.

Wonderful poem but could the relationship between man and woman be so tense
and full of conflict?Well Robert Frost must have been in deep grief then
for the deaths of the people he loved.The poet was a sensitive man,full of
stress.

Home Burial
It's a great dramatic poem of Robert Frost.it shows us how a dead child
creates the problem between the living persons......these two persons are
not someone else but they are his real parents...this poem shows a big
greif,mother can't accept it but father accepts the reality.......

This has long been one of my quriky "favorites." Not because it makes me
feel more and fuzzy, nor because some super-deep meaning looms below the
surface. But because of the flavor Frost captures. You can picture the
eyebrow colonial, on some dirt road 30 miles north of Concord, NH, circa
1900, pre-automobiles. No neighbors for half a mile or so. And the
oft-seen family plot on-site. A pragmatic, old Yankee farmer. A man who's
seen and done horror in his lifetime (euthanizing puppies, putting down
horses/dogs/etc, killing the meat they eat.) Who knows what he's seen in
his life? The world? The loss of siblings/parents? He is hard and
emotionally shut-off. He buries his emotions as he digs the grave. The
woman is, well, the mother--and a woman. Her pain and conflict over his
lack of emotion was possibly an issue before the death, but certainly rears
its head now. She had left the house before, presumably to fill the
emotional void he can't fill. Was the 'someone coming down the road' the
emotional friend? Or was he telling her to compose herself and "act right"
lest the neighbors see her bad behavior? In the end he shows his attempt
to communicate and listen was pretense. At the first obstacle, he
threatens physical control/domination.

Frost poetry is mostly based on the subject of death. Frost dealt with many
deaths throughout his life. Firstly his father died then his mother passed
away. His first born son, Elliott, died at the age of three and two more of
his children have died fairly young.
I think” Home Burial” was written by Frost on the death of his baby
Elliott. Death is the hardest reality of one’s life that is why they found
it so hard to understand each other at the death of their first born.

This poem is Dramatic lyric with smooth language and gentle tone.This poem
is extremely emotional in its medium.Basically this is a poem about a
couple whose first born baby has died.The husband has accepted the tragic
death but the wife is not able to take up her life again.This poem shows
their is grevious loss of communication between this couple and sad shadows
of their dead child alienates them more from each other.
The husband threw himself into the most difficult task of digging the grave
of his only child but wife thinks that he has been so unemotional while
doing such an act of digging the grave of his only child and putting him
into the grave
