"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
" The character is left with the feeling of sadness and nothingness, because of the darkness. " The first time this line is stated it can be taken almost literally. Then, the symbolism in the poems show the happy ending. 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. " Immediately after this line, the character says "I have looked down the saddest city lane. In "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," Frost exhibits this fairly clearly when his character mentions in the first line of the poem "Whose woods these are I think I know/His house is in the village, though;/He will not see me stopping here. " This selection from "Stopping by Woods in a Snowy Evening," amplifies even more the sense of darkness in these poems. This character feels despondent from the minute he departs to do what he has to do, "out in rain," and feels no better, if not worse when returns "back in rain. This symbolizes that the good is on its way but its just a matter of time, but for now, the character must continue with his task. " This statement shows that the character would like to stay, but it is time continue with his journey and do what he has to do. The last two lines of this poem are repeated. This little hint pops a question in your mind, "What exactly is this guy doing?," hence the mystery.
