Richard Corey

In this poem there is a man named Richard Corey who looks as he has everything going on in his life. When ever people see him he looks all together and as if he doesn't have any worries. Later on one evening he goes home and kills himself. In this poem I think the author is using the element of disillusion, because he makes everyone look at this guy and think something else but really there is a problem in his life. The author makes him look like a person that everybody wants to be even though they only see what he is like in public.
