Irony_Of_Necessity

Irony Of Necessity The Irony of Necessity According to Maslow, human beings have a hierarchy of needs. This hierarchy is comprised of the need for self-actualization, the need for esteem, the need for love, the need for safety, and the need for physiological health. There are also many biologists out there who will stand by the idea that humans only truly need food, water, and shelter. Yet, not very often do our social elitists talk about the human need for irony. Not very often, unless of course one surrounds one's self with a room full of poets. In that instance one would probably only hear about the need for irony, along with the need for love, and the need for death. The poems "Richard Cory", by Edwin Arlington Robinson, and "The Necessity for Irony", Eavan Boland are prime examples of the human need for irony. Though the structures of these two poems are completely different, somehow they still manage to convey the same message. In "Richard Cory" and "The Necessity for Irony" the real message is that when one is on a life long search for the perfect and beautiful, all one will find at the end of the search is the irony irony, need, cory, richard, things, one, necessity, yet, searching, search, poem, beautiful, very, perhaps, people, message, life, kind, human, find, end, stanza, sales, poems, person, main, love, happiness, different, daughter, while, until, thing, story, stanzas, specific
