The poem may be read as an ironic commentary on the American dream of
wealth,success,power.

Beautiful!The person you admire and, on a benign level envy, may well be
carrying a heavy burden.Has a loved one died? Has he experienced heavy
financial losses? Has he had bad news from his doctor? Is he subject to
periods clinical depression? You can think of many more. You have
experienced them yourself.
So:judge kindly always.

In this poem, it is talking about a well liked man, who is rich, and has a
pretty good life. In the end, the man shoots himself in the head out of
nowhere. At first everyone thinks he is a happy guy but at the end
everything is way differnt. But i understand were he is coming from

Edwin Arlington Robinson was a son of a prosperous merchant and a school
teacher. His parent’s paid more attention to his two older brothers; he was
miserable and lonely most of the time. Edwin felt like an outsider amongst
his family, as he also felt separated from the society of his town. He
could have set Richard Cory as an allusion of himself, and maybe at times
when Edwin was alone and depressed he wanted to find a way out. This is
about a man who appears to be commendable on the outside but no one knows
who he really is on the inside which he could be suffering. Robinson talks
Richard Cory up by saying, he was “richer than a king,” “admirably
schooled,” “we thought that he was everything to make us wish that we were
in his place.” That was until an unexpected ending happened in the poem,
“And one calm summer night, went home and put a bullet in his head”
(Robinson). This poem makes you think about what true happiness really is.
From the outside one may appear to have everything but happiness does not
come from wealth, it comes from inside one’s self.

Just as in Edwin Arlington Robinson’s real life, his poem, “Richard Cory”
portrays the desire and necessity to obtain more than a façade of wealth
and happiness. Robinson writes that Richard was so dissatisfied with life
he “Went home and put a bullet through his head”. (Robinson 16). Using a
metaphor, Robinson states, “And he was rich—yes, richer than a
king—“(Robinson 9). This statement furthers Robinson’s aphorism that money
cannot buy happiness.

In the life of Edwin Arlington Robinson he talks a lot about the life he
lived in Maine. He was very pessimistic because of his childhood. His
parents payed attention to his older siblings and felt like he failed at
writing. As a writer he uses definite rhyme scheme. In this poem "Richard
Cory" Edwin makes it seem like there was this perfect man that everybody
bowed down to and they all wanted to be like him because of the way he
presented himself. The people did not know that deep down this prosperous
man felt like an outcast, like Edwin Robinson. This wealthy man felt
separated by the people in his town because of his many achievements.

Edwin Arlington Robinson was unhappy growing up, due to the fact that he
felt ignored by his parents even though they were aware of his
intelligence. Later in his career he became successful and known but still
felt that he didn’t belong in the family or even in society. In this poem
by Robinson, "Richard Cory", he used irony. The readers wouldn’t expect
that a man, who had fame and fortune also assuming that they are happy,
would end their life. He also used rhyme in this poem so that it is easier
to read, but harder to understand at the ending for the unknown reason of
Richard's death.

Edwin Arlington Robinson was a man of deep meaning. In the poem "Richard
Cory" it describes a man who was in the aspect of many of the people back
then, perfect. Although in truth nobody ever is and through the poem I feel
a understanding that the spiritual lacking
in Richard's life was his happiness. People can have money but money can't
buy everything, most people don't really know what to live for and I get
this opinion from this poem.
