Robert Lee Frost
(March 26, 1874 – January 29, 1963).
He was an American poet.
His work was initially published in England before it was published in America.
Known for his realistic depictions of rural life and his command of American colloquial speech.
Frost frequently wrote about settings from rural life in New England in the early twentieth century, using them to examine complex social and philosophical themes.
THEMES
MAN AND THE NATURAL WORLD :
Nature is a beautiful siren in this poem, because it is not as quiet and warm, but rather scary and mysterious.
ISOLATION:
"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" is a lonely poem, for our speaker finds himself far away from any other human being.
SYMBOLISM
WOODS :
It is symbolic of the way that most people nowadays go through life – thinking only of themselves, being self-centered, and ignoring the mystery and the beauty of the nature that surrounds them.
