Ultimately, we can't know whydecided to kill
himself. The poem is from the view of the people who live near him; they don't know his
innermost thoughts or the problems he might have in his life. They know him as someone to pass
on the streets; they don't know him as a real person.
When Richard Cory
shoots himself, the people in the town are surprised. They had no idea that he was unhappy about
anything. They see him as living a blessed, successful life and see themselves as less in
comparison.
There's no mention of Cory having a family or friends. They don't
say whether he's in good healththough they have no indication to the contrary. There is no real
indication of why he ultimately shot himself. He was deeply unhappy about something and decided
to commit suicide because of it.
