"Richard Corey" Reflection

“Richard Corey” by Edwin Arlington Robinson is definitely a piece of disillusionment. The way that I saw it was that Richard Corey was no longer disillusioned about his own status. He was regarded as “a gentleman from sole to crown”. He was also very wealthy, even “richer than a king”. But he apparently came out of his disillusionment with his status in life and his life in general, so he decided to end it.
