Stopping by woods on a snowy evening
Robert Frost
Literal Comprehension:
The speaker in the poem is riding his horse through the woods. It is getting evening and the environment is cold. It is snowing. The wood is extremely beautiful to look at but the speaker can't stay there to enjoy its beauty since he has to go on a long journey before he sleeps.
Interpretation:
The poem is about human life and duty. Human life is full of obstacles and hardships. But one must be patient and courageous to overcome this to fulfill the promise of his/her life. If one fails to understand such aspect of life, he/she can never get success in his/her life. The poem can be interpreted symbolically by addressing such aspect which always tried to divert the human from their way of life. But man being conscious of it should continue his pace of life forgetting everything.
Critical Thinking:
So far the poem talks about the human life and duty, it is very impressive. But in many respects, the speaker fails to give very convincing incidence such as how does the writer feel stopping at the lonely woods? Here the horse is shown as if it were giving information about the harshness of the climate. Is it possible for the horse to notice and inform about it? How does one travel along the path alone which is full of falling snow ?
Assimilation:
As I read the poem, it impressed me much. I am a man of common interest and hobby. Even the small and insignificant event traps me. Because of this, I forget other many important things. As a result I never get success in my mission. After reading this, I came to know the fact that one should continue his/her mission whatever the difficulties he/she faces.
summary
Once a poet riding on a horse passes through the forest, where the snow was gently falling and covering it. He stops to enjoy natural beauty of the forest. The poet says that he knows forest’s owner who lives in a village. He could not see him stopping there. His horse would think it strange to stop by woods because there was no farm house between forest and lake. It was considered darkest evening of the year. The sound which he could hear was of the blowing winds and falling flakes of snow. The horse moved the bells of harness in order to confirm whether his master has made any mistake. The scene of forest was very charming but poet remembered his promise which he has to fulfill. He has yet to travel a long distance before he may go to bed.
