robert frost
In the work of Robert Frost he has certain ideas and themes that can be found in many of his creations of literature. Nature is one theme that seems to play a major role in the poetry he writes. Robert DiYanni wrote in Modern American Poets that "nature appears as a powerful, dangerous, and cruel force, its purpose and design not immediately apparent" (232). Frost demonstrates his use of nature in these four selected poems: "The Road Not Taken," "Birches," "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," and "Desert Places." In the poems he uses nature to symbolize aspects of real life situations that humans face.We all face countless choices in our lifetime. Some decisions to these choices are obvious while others are not. Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken" uses nature to introduce two separate paths the speaker comes upon in the woods (line 1). Here Frost is faced with the decision of which path he will choose to travel. I see this poem as one traveling down the straight and narrow "road" of life until confronted with a "fork" in the road and a choice must be made about where one is going to go in life. In the two poems "Birches" and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" Frost is introduced with making a decision about wanting
Frost illustrates this in the poem "The Road Not Taken". Here we have to make a choice between traveling the common route, which is more reassuring, or we can follow the more challenging path and possibly lead an extraordinary life. In line 8 Frost says, "The loneliness includes me unawares". All of theses selected poems demonstrate how Frost uses nature in his poems to symbolize aspects of real life situations that humans face. Nature has a way of bringing all of her parts together to act as one. He is realizing that if he continues to let these feelings run his life, eventually everything would be snuffed out much like the snow does to nature. In the two poems "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" and "Birches" Robert Frost uses nature to identify another conflict one may face in life. In the poem "The Road Not Taken" Frost for tells about this happening. While traveling down the more challenging road, he still has the desire to travel both paths with saying, "Oh, I kept the first for another day" (line 13). The choices a person makes in life, large or small, are ultimately responsible for their future, but can never be looked back upon to experience other possibilities.
