Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening Analysis

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it's queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there's some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Frost commited sucide. He took the journy of breaking his promises, and going to sleep. Frost's struggle of pressing on or giving up eventully lead to the end of his life. This is the meaning of the poem in regaurds to Frost.

See the main point of the poem is Frost's emotional struggle between chooseing to continue on to a routine life of work and confusion but leaving him with opportunity to socialize. Or does he want to just leave all of the confusion of the world and enjoy resting in peace but in soclusion and lonelyness. It's the question I ask myself everyday.

.: Analysis :.


Robert Frost's poem can be analyzed in several ways. Some just say it's the whole feeling of it, meaning the peace and tranquil emotions it has in the language. Others say it's a want to escape from civilization, to ignore expectations from the world and have your own state of mind. Some people even think the poem can mean death or even suicide. It all depends on how close you read the poem and how YOU interpret it.

For the emotions, everybody can feel something in a poem. Just read it, and you'll feel it. This won't need any explanation.

As for getting away from civilization, you get the first hint from the beggining stanza. "His house is in the village though" tells that this takes place in the woodlands, out of the village. The speaker clearly wants to linger in this place, this deep, dark, and lovely sight, but he knows that he has to continue his life in society.

The interpretion about death is one that was denied by Robert Frost but does fit in a way. One stanza that definitely supports it is the last one, where "sleep" is seen as another way of saying "death". In the first stanza, "his house" is seen as Death's house, meaning the graveyard. Of course, the graveyard is in the village. However, some say that the "he" is meant to be vague and doesn't mean Death. The bells on the horse are seen as church bells. Basically, the speaker sees this fantastic marvel in the "forest" and thinks of his death, of the peace he'll have, but the horse's instincts and the "promises" keep him going until he will reach his natural death.

Making fun of people has no impact, even if you are correct, YOU must let THEM discover the truth and the truth shall bestow itself upon them, only then may they be complete, with moral, indeference, and being justified, and having a meaning and means to be the one rare person we find who strides to excel, who leads, use your mind! Critisizing never got anywere, and nither am I, Im a guide.

Why have we grown so distant?
All motion is relative. Perhaps you have grown away by standing still
