Question

Excerpt from: Miniver Cheevy
Edwin Arlington Robinson

Miniver sighed for what was not,
And dreamed, and rested from his labors;
He dreamed of Thebes and Camelot,
And Priam's neighbors.

What is implied about Miniver Cheevy in these lines from the poem?

A) He rarely talks to anyone.
B) He lives mostly in his thoughts and dreams. *** ANSWER
C) He wears himself out through hard work.
D) He has a positive perspective on life.

Answer 1

Miniver upholds that he was born too late, that he should have existed many centuries before. He youthfully idealizes the Greeks’ obstruction of Troy, Alexander the Great’s outbreak on Thebes, and King Arthur’s battle near Camelot, as if such clashes were fun. So therefore, the best answer that suits here is letter b.
