SYMBOLISM IN THE POETRY OF ROBERT FROST: AN ANALYSIS

Robert Frost, the great American poet used symbols abundantly and judiciously in his poems. The use of symbols helped Frost to express more meanings associated with the word in addition to the simple meaning. Symbols are words not merely connotative, but evocative and emotive. Frost’s poetry appears to be simple and easy, but it is deceptive and misleading due to the use of symbols. His poems are symbolic and have layers within layers of meaning on a careful reading. Symbols make the language of poetry rich and expressive. Frost has written many beautiful poems rich in symbolism to express his thoughts. This paper is an attempt to analyze the poetry of Robert Frost in the light of symbolism.
