Question

Which theme is found in both we wear the mask and a man said to the universe

Answer 1

These are two different poems written by two different poets. In we wear the masks poet is expressing his feelings about the inner of a man how a man gets hurt and hides his torn heart with the help of a single smile. This smile is actually a mask a man is wearing to hide his sorrows. On the other hand a man said to the universe plots a theme of a man talking to the universe about his existence that he exists but universe replies as this thing does not matter much. In both the poems it is portrayed that a man can be helpless in front of the external forces.

Answer 2

The theme is about hiding the inner self from the world. We ought to hide the feelings when we get hurt or are depressed. We tend to smile in front o the world but inside our heart bleeds. So a smiling face is a mask for the world. Cause the world do not care about the feelings and not even for our existence as mentioned in other poem.
