Thoughts on "The Death of the Hired Man"....

"The Death of the Hired Man" by Robert Frost is very interesting poem. The thing I find most interesting about the poem is that the whole poem's structure is a conversation between a man and his wife. In this conversation, the man's wife lets him know that the hired hand Silas has died. She also tells him where she finds Silas. The poem also gives background information on Silas. I believe the word home in this poem is used to describe not only Silas dying and taking a place in the afterlife, but I feel it also has a literal meaning because the man and his wife gave Silas a home that he didn't have before he died due to various circumstances mentioned the poem.
