This poem is the best example of irony applied in real life situation.
Arlington clearly emphasizes in this poem that we cannot judge someone’s
happiness based merely on physical appearance and possessions. Well-endowed
physical features and wealth do not promise a successful life. After
Richard Cory killed himself, we come to realize that even him does not have
a ''perfect'' life, contrary to what most people believed in. What an irony
indeed!

Our society needs to quit wanting and believing that everyone has a better
life then theirs.This poem is a good example for stating that we cannot
jugde the outer appearance of someone especially if there wealthy does not
obviously mean that they have all the happiness and wonderful life. After
Richard Cory kills himself, we realize that his ''perfect'' life is far
from true

I first read this poem as a senior in high school. Among all the boring
poems we studied that I didn't even understand, Richard Cory was definitly
my favorite.

This poem really spoke to me. It told me that to some people physical
things are everything and to some others they could care less about them.
Never judge a book by its cover.

This poem is one of the best examples of how we cope with life. Either we
change or we die. Its as simple as that. We hide our identities and make
everyone believe that we're in command, that nothing can ever shatter our
resolve. In the end, it's still the same old story: we're just fooling
ourselves and everybody else. Nobody knows us enough so everyone else will
simply judge us by how we carry ourselves.

i think Richard Cory is one of the best poems I have ever read. To me, it
shows that someone can have everything in the world; money, estates, lands
etc. but if they don't have someone to share it with , it's as though they
don't have it at all. Richard Cory had no mention of family, friends, or
pets. so, i would say that he was lonely and depressed slightly. So he put
a bullet through his head. A really remarkble poem that caught my
attention.

This is very typical of Robinson: the very last lines are decisive.They
tell us about spiritual emptiness of the character behind the glitter of
his appearance. It is not misunderstanding or envy of others that made him
commit suicide, but his own lack of firm spiritual ground.The theme so
common to the poet's contemporaries.
