to see why they are being so secretive and the woman tells the men to be quiet because, "he'll hear you." (Frost 570). So the people mock him and talk about him until he dies, and when they find out that he dies, the show pity and shame because he is dead and all he had were people talking about them. They are shamed because he actually came all the way from home to die with his family who mocks and ridicules him and they pity him because he has no one else to turn to except his family who obviously does not care about him. The final consequence is pity and shame. Not self pity, but pity from others around the lonely person. Which are people that feel sorry for that person because they are just a little bit eccentric, or different from the rest. Pity and shame that Frost experiences when "no one was at the port to meet Frost and his family after their trip." (Thompson XI). Frost's consequence of loneliness caused him to rise above the rest of the ordinary world of plain and boorish people to become this great poet and brilliant writer of our time.All the authors tie loneliness into their poems by personal experiences or feelings they had at that time. In Carson's place, something happened to her family that caused her to feel the state depicted in, "The Haunted Boy." With Sara, loneliness was at her advantage and aided in her writing many poems like, "The Solitary." Robert's experiences give him just enough drive and will power to prove that being different from everyone else is not necessarily a bad thing. How else could he have created such beautiful pieces like, "Death of the Hired Man." Which when read makes people think twice at disrespecting and sniping behind someone else's back. The consequences of loneliness aren't a bad thing if that lonely one has the drive to rise above those that make fun or fail to get along with him or her. Is loneliness a problem, yes, disease, maybe, but one thing is for sure, and that is...
