Compare and contrast the themes of the two poems quoted below. Include the titles of the poems and the author. "Why should the world be overwise, In counting all our tears and sighs? " "So all who hide too well away Must speak and tell us where they are."
The first quote is from "We Wear the Mask" by Paul Laurence Dunbar. The second quote is from Revelation by Robert Frost. Both poems acknowledge the fact that people do wear masks and hide their true self and emotions. However, both poems address the situation of wearing a mask in different ways. According to We Wear the Mask, people should not reveal their problems to the world. People should continue to endure their struggles without causing trouble and drama for others. On the other hand, Revelation encourages people to share the truth with their friends in order to seek help and comfort. By revealing the truth will help strengthen relationships as well.
