Born Too Late?

     I think that E.A. Robinson portrays Miniver Cheevy as a character "who wept he was ever born"to show prove to us that we cant fall victim to what we cant control. Miniver Cheevy has no control over what time period he was born in, and even though he can fantasize about what his life could have been like in another time he can't know for sure his life would be any better than it is now. Instead of drinking his life away, he should try and make is life out to be like the one he wants to the best of his ability. We have control over our own lives in our own happiness!
