Consider both the comedic and tragic aspects (and the potential relation between the two) in Frost’s poem “Mending Wall.”
“Mending Wall” tells the story of two neighboring farmers. A stonewall that divides their properties was recently destroyed. The speaker wants to leave the area the way it is but the neighbor is forceful about rebuilding it. This alludes to the thought that privacy is important and division are necessary. The wall acts a barrier to friendship. It is comedic and tragic that while the speaker wants to be closer to his neighbor, the neighbor opposes the thought.
