Robert Frost

Synecdoche: the name for the part signifying the whole, as in "hands" for "sailors" or "wave" for "sea." That signifies the poetry of Robert Frost. Out of the selection of poems I chose by Robert Frost, and it was hard to choose, the one that perhaps has the most illustrative quality of all his work is Reluctance. Reluctance, a poem that appears in Frost’s first book A Boy’s Will (1913), talks about the preparation that Frost underwent as a writer. All of Frost’s works have a level of duplicity, not to be mistaken by ambiguity, which is not the case. His works can be understood on several levels as is so proven with “Reluctance.” Mr. Frost’s works have an obvious simplicity to them, at least to the casual reader, but always there is a trace of something more, a hint to something that takes a bit more effort to discover.

Frost was praised for his ability to seem obvious to the casual reader, to be able to give a simplistic view of the feeling behind the poem to the reader, regardless of the attention the reader paid. It is easy to miss the hints Frost places for the reader; sometimes it is simply a word that signifies that there is some deeper meaning to his poems. If he refers to “this”, then obvio


Another one of Frost’s incredible abilities as a writer is to describe the scenery and the human feeling in his works. In “The Death of the Hired Man,” another one of Frost’s works, he focuses not so much on making the dialogue between the two characters poetical but to make it true to their feelings, to their characters. The dialogue between the husband and the wife is very believable in the sense that it’s not written to sound poetical or fancy but rather to express the raw emotions of the characters, so the reader can understand the reason for the conversation rather than think it sounds “nice.” It’s not described in conventional terms, in a paper written about it, it is said, “Yes this is poetry, but of what order?” that may be asked by the common reader, expecting the fanciness of conventional poetry, expecting it’s sweetness and it’s lyrical passion. However it’s the feeling in this poem that classifies it as poetry, though of a strange order. It’s so true to life, so natural, so heartfelt that one can’t doubt it is poetry, but at the same time it is simply life.

usly there is a “that” which he is not mentioning, and it is that what the reader is challenged to figure out, the “that” of his works. Frost prided himself in being ulterior, to paraphrase him, poems would be no good if they didn’t have doors to lead the reader to an alternate meaning, but he wouldn’t just leave them open. In his poem “Reluctance” Frost talks about a trip that has finally ended, a preparation that has come to an end and has brought with it a new beginning, that is the simple meaning behind the poem. If meticulously examined, you find a
