Compare and Contrast


Miniver Cheevy and Richard Cory is both a person suffering from inner turmoil, one who is rich and one who is poor. One who dreamed to be somebody and one who wished for someone who could understand him. They are both trying to be somebody they are not. 

Miniver Cheevy is someone who is convinced that the grass is greener on the other side. He dreams of living in a world full of fantasy which far from the world he is living. He blames fate and wastes his life away on alcohol. However, Richard Cory is someone who has everything a man could ask for. He lives in a world where Miniver wanted to and he has everything Miniver ask for. But Richard Cory is not satisfied and not happy with what he has. Though everyone envies him for what he has, still he wanted to be somebody he is not. 

They both needed help from someone. Unfortunately, the help they are looking where never been found. That is why they both blame fate and their life.
