The two poems that I have chosen to focus on are “We Wear the Mask” by Paul Dunbar and “God’s Grandeur” by Gerald Hopkins. ... I felt comfortable with selecting “We Wear the Mask” because this particular poem allowed my mind to be imaginative and accessible to various opinions. ... Paul Dunbar’s poem, “We Wear the Mask”, displays the most common pattern in English poetry, iambic pentameter. ...
Wearing a mask enables people to conceal their actual feelings, and emotions from the rest of society. Also, a mask works somewhat as a disguise and protects one from being vulnerable and abused. In other words, a mask gives protection against the harshness of society and reality. ... This initial line reveals a vivid image that establishes the major concept of the poem (people hide behind mask). ...
Wearing a mask in society defines as well as symbolizes dishonest behavior amongst mankind.
