The poem "Richard Cory" is about an apparently affluent man who ultimately commits suicide. To the people outside, he is 'richer than a king' and 'admirably schooled in every grace'. However, the last line of the poem shows that maybe not everything was right with Richard Cory and therefore the theme is (A) a person's inner reality is often hidden.
