Hope is a savior and a guide for it’s host. Two authors give their opinion about the meaning of hope. Emily Dickinson the poet of “XXXII” demonstrates a fantasy relationship between humanity and hope. However, McCarthy the author of a novel The Road, illustrates how humanity needs hope because without it humans would be lost. Although both McCarthy and Emily view hope as a comfort for humanity, McCarthy has a more realistic view of hope because he doesn’t romanticize how vulnerable hope is, therefore; hope needs to be nourished in order to be maintain.
