Robert Frost poem Home Burial

   Home Burial poem By Robert Frost

   

  " Home Burial" is one of Robert Frost's longest poems, and it can also be considered one of his most emotionally disturbing ones. "Home Burial," published in 1914, tells the story of a married couple fighting after their baby has died.

The theme of Home Burial by Robert Frost is the missunderstanding between a husband and a wife. The wife can t handle the way that her husband has dealt with the death of their baby. The wife feels that her husband doesn t even care about the death of their baby. This is not true the husband just deals with his pain in different ways.

 In this poem we have found the behaviour of a man and a woman. The author has wanted to show us that the women are emotional. Shakespeare says, ‘Frailty thy name is woman.’ The author has to announce that, a woman is not a woman but a mother. So the wife of the husband is very sad for the death of her child. Actually it is not the fault of the wife to misunderstand her husband; it is the nature of a lady. On the other hand, a man has two powers; one is emotion and another is action. At first the husband tries to control his wife with his emotion but when he fails he applies force or action.

In this poem we found that how the death of child was happed and father used to bury his child into the garden. Garden becomes graveyard of the child. Here not only death of child but also death of parents. Here is two words ‘Home’ and ‘Burial’. Home stands for positive things, Loveliness, family and life. Whereas burial stand for negative things, graveyard, death. All opposed to home. After the burial of child mother don’t want to live in this house. As a man father is very practical were as mother is too much sensitive and emotional. Being man her husband order she and she have to obey him. The word “Dear” is use in negative sense. There is nothing like dear but her husband use word dear for her. We found death of relation of mother and father, also death of family.
