Ow did paul laurence dunbar depart from traditional poetry in "we wear the mask"? by using formal language by including biblical allusion by employing an unusual rhyme scheme by discussing individual identity by adhering to strict grammar norms

the answer is:  

he is voicing feelings shared by all humans regardless of race.

in paul laurence dunbar's poem "we wear the mask," he replicates the words mask and we to emphasize how people in general -not just black americans- hide their true feelings. he suggests the masks cover people's faces and eyes, which are the main parts that display their emotions. he also thinks people's pain conceal behind those masks, so that they cannot see reality and nobody is able to see one another's sorrow.

may i see the historical information and the excerpt?
