What Is Robert Frost Speaking About In These Two Poems?

Everest University Online

     What is happening in these two poems is that Robert Frost is talking about in his poem ‘The Road Not Taken’ is that he could not walked down both roads, so therefore he would combine both roads into one so that he would be able to travel down the road. Also, he’s talking about how worn out the wood is on the road and how black it is that he might not even travel back down that road again. In the poem ‘Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening’ is that he is stopping through the woods and he’s saying someone will not see him. He’s also stating how lovely and dark the wood is to him.

     The conflict for the speaker is that he is trying to figure out how he is going to go down both roads or exactly how he is going to combine both roads into one, so that he can get through the woods. The speaker has a nice mellow tone while trying to figure something out.

     The speaker resolves his issue or issues by coming up with a variety of ways to make it through the woods by either going down both roads which is impossible to do so at the same time or by combining both roads into one, which he ended up doing so to get through the woods. I don’t think the speaker would have attempted to go through the woods anymore after going through it this go around.
