"STOPPING BY WOODS ON A SNOWY EVENING"Robert Frost's poems "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" and "Acquainted with the Night" seem to be ordinary poems at first glance, but after an in depth look at these works and how they relate, they become much more. Frost seemed to keep a tone of mystery throughout each of these poems, never actually telling the reader exactly what was going on. By the same token, the poems gave off sense of darkness and gloom just adding to the mystery of what lies ahead. Neither of the characters in these poems seem to be very happy which also augments the gloomy mood of these poems. The characters in these poems also appear to be on some kind of journey, but are reluctant to go ahead and find out what fate has planned for them. A sense of obligation is also present in these poems, an obligation which must be fulfilled, whether the character likes it or not.More easily seen is the mystery in each of these poems. Frost keeps the reader in suspense by never telling the reader what exactly is going on, but just touches on what might be going on. And to make things even more mysterious, he gives you hints, and leaves the read
It means that for now, he must keep on doing what he is doing, but eventually, all this will end and he will find his peace. Perhaps the character has hit a low point in their life and this is why the character describes the night as "The darkest," i. " From "Acquainted with the Night," Frost's character mentions, "I have outwalked the furthest city light. The characters do not want to do these things, but he has no choice. It seems that this character is reluctant to leave the peaceful and beautiful woods to fulfill some dispiriting obligation. " These first three lines set a mood of dishonesty, as if the character is not supposed to be there, but it's all right for now because the owner doesn't know he's there. " The character seems to be feeling guilty, or afraid of the authority figure and drops his eyes to the watchman because of this. Rain is the feeling of pessimism and despair. It's like the saying, "Hard work pays off. Also projected by these poems is a sense of darkness, which goes hand in hand with the mystery in these poems. The titles of these poems alone suggest darkness. But what makes this evening so dark? Is it so dark because the cloud cover from the snowfall is blocking out the moon and stars, desecrating the available light? If this is true, then how could there be enough light to "watch his woods fill up with snow," to see that there is "[no] farmhouse near," or that "the woods are lovely, dark and deep?" Maybe it is not that the evening is dark in the sense of night versus day, but maybe it is a personification of how the character feels. " Frost emphasizes the gloom felt by the character very well with the, "-and back in rain," part of the line.
