analysis of: Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost


In the poem Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost our author is passing through a path of woods and decides to stop for awhile, saying that the owner of the land won't mind him enjoying the quiet and snowy evening. in the next stanza he turns his attention to the thoughts of the horse, stating how it must think it odd to stop without a reason. It seems that Robert frost could be symbolizing the attitudes of people today, many of whom would see it as very impractical to stop for something without a clear gain. This metoprolol continues with the hoer growing impatient and forst end with the idea that he has many promises, obligations to the world and he can't just stop, as inviting as to May seem the scociety won't just stop and let you check out and there's a long journey ahead before you can rest.



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 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 is 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.
