The poem "Home Burial" by Robert Frost tells a tragic story from an objective point of view about a husband and wife struggling to come to terms with the loss of their first and only child, while trying to keep this tremendous devastation from destroying their marriage. ...
In much of Frosts poetry, blank verse, pervaded with iambic pentameter is used. ... If a rime scheme had been attempted in "Home Burial," it would have dramatically changed and altered the realistic aspect and true, human emotions this poem is flooded with, but but without the rhythmic affect of the iambic pentameter this poem would cease to be and instead would become an ordinary conversation/argument between two individuals. ... A clear picture of their troubled life emerges through Frosts use of colloquial language. ...
While focusing on the themes it is essential that the reader notice the punctuation Frost uses to convey the mood of "Home Burial.
