Literary Criticism In The Poet By Robert Frost

Decent Essays

The Poet is Robert Frost. I believe that this poem in a political affiliation poem due to the fact that it has references to many things in today's world. Frost wrote the poem when he was 48years old. He suffered a lot of grief and family tragedies. It does appear in its original language. I don't believe that it is a part of another poem, but he does have a lot of written poems similar to these topics.It feel as tho this poem is more of a political concept then a literary movement. Robert felt that the world was going to end.
Though The poem would have to be a confessional, because He is listing personal things from depression and family tragedies in this poem so he doesn't want to go through this alone anymore. Since the poem he makes several references throughout the poem like "So dawn goes to day" and "only so an hour"
The poem would be nothing gold can stay as the title, I feel as tho it doesnt give a clear picture on its own because 'gold' could reference life, death, wealth, happiness, nature, etc. So basically anything. You have to go further into the poem to figure that one out. Based on my last few sentences 'gold' could be almost anything leaving it to have many possibilities. In my opinion it has a very nice balance from everything else that is going on. There is not, in this poem I don't see many opposite things being said or chosen in this poem. If you mean by historical as they mention eden's garden then yes, but there isn't any 'Main" historical events.
