The paper analyzes Robert Frost's short poem, "Revelation" and notes how there is an over-arching theme in the work that seems to take to task the human penchant for hiding our true selves. The paper mentions the fact that relatively little poetic artifice can be found in the work - as if Frost wanted an unadorned poem that spoke to the tragedy of the human condition. The paper concludes that Frost is offering up to the world his own insight into the psychological shackles and prison bars people create for themselves when they try to act like something they plainly are not.
