“Richard Cory“
He was someone who was highly praised and looked up too. Cory had it all, he was rich and had everything going for him. The people who looked up to him where wrong because he wasn’t happy at all. One night he went back to his house and killed himself he was so unhappy. The thing that didn’t make his happy was that people judge him based on his money. Irony: apparence vs. reality. This “real” vs. “ideal” becaue if it was an ideal story he would be happy and the apparent and the reality would match. The people see having a perfect life but the reality is something different.
“Miniver Cheevy”
He wants to live in the middle ages but is living in the current world. He drinks because
he wishes he had a different life. He believes he was born in the wrong century because all his dreams and hopes belong to the middle ages. So to escape the real life, he decides to drink to become in his fantasy world. The meaning of Miniver Cheevy suggest a life full of depression and no success thats why his name sounds like minimal achiever.
“Mr. Flood’s Party”
Mr. Flood is an alcoholic. He sings and talks like someone is with him but in relilty he is all
alone. It is ironic because Mr.Flood’s Party sounds like he is having an
actual party. He drinks because he wants to fill the emptiness in him. He
drinks to have an ideal life, but in reality he has no one. He remembers the
past when he is drunk and that is when he was not alone and was happy. He
doesn’t look to the future and that is what people tend to do in their life.
