I think the point is simply that money can't buy happiness. โ€”Angr 14:27, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Small objection

[edit]

"The Simon & Garfunkel version of the song's ending differs from the poem in that the speaker still wishes he "could be Richard Cory", even after Cory has killed himself."

I think it is obvious that the S&G song merely repeats the chorus at the end to emphasize the gap between the haves and have-nots, underscoring every-man's yearning for the "better life" lived by the "other half". An excellent example of this, in reverse, is the song "What do the simple folk do?" from Camelot. โ€” Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.31.24.249 (talk) 18:13, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
