recognize that "Home Burial" was pubished in 1914. That gives the
reader a better insight to understand the husband’s reaction to the death of the
child. During this time period Society dictated that men should not show their
true feelings. Therefore, men tended to have dealt with conflicts by working
hard and being domineering. "Home Burial" demonstrates how one tragedy
can cause another to occur. There are three different tragedies that transpire
throughout this poem. The first tragedy is the burial of the child. The second
tragedy is the burial of the marriage. Finally, the most symbolic and ironic
tragedy is the burial of the home. Because of unfortunate circumstances the
