Home Burial 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. One example of this is at the beginning …

…a sign of him not caring about the fact that he had just buried their baby. In reality this statement made by the husband is being related to the casket that held the body of the baby. Poirer coments “clearly , she can not say “it all” because her grievances are not and cannot be the equivalent of her grief and so she necessarily rejects what to her cannot help but sound like condescension. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
