Mending Wall

In the poem Building wall it displays the element of disillusion because the characters both are seeing something in a way that it really isn't. One of them says that "a good wall makes a good neighbor", but this is not true for the simple fact that they work on this wall at least once a year and that’s the only time they see each other. If the fence was good and they didn’t have to work on it then they would in a way be strangers because they would never see each other. The other neighbor says that he really doesn't care about it because he feels that they would be good neighbors anyway. Once again this is not true because if there was no fence then there would be nothing to bring them together to interact in the spring time.
