Describe the narrators tone in this poem. what is the narrator's opinion of miniver cheevy

The narrator has a negative opinion of Miniver Cheevy. The narrator's words indicate this negative tone.

Miniver Cheevy does not fit in -- the narrator tells us this from the poem's opening lines. We are immediately told as a child, he was scorned. Even as a child, Cheevy cried that he was born.

Why? Well, it seems that Cheevy regrets that he was not born in the past. He is someone who looks back on the past as a "golden age" and regrets he did not live during the time of Thebes, Camelot, the Renaissance, and Ancient Greece (to name a few). He is so busy thinking of the past that he "rested from his labors" -- he stops working to dream.

Furthermore, Cheevy hates common, modern things (like khaki suits). Many people wish they lived in the past, but we know the narrator looks down on Cheevy by the end of the poem. Here, we are told that Cheevy is a complainer who looks down upon money but complains when he doesn't have it. Even worse, he is likely an alcoholic, who drinks because he was "born too late."

For these reasons, the narrator has a negative opinion of Miniver Cheevy.
