Shadows in the Yellow Wood: The Dark Side of Robert Frost’s Poetry Robert Frost is one of the most widely-read and recognized poets of the twentieth century, if not all time. If his name is mentioned, it is usually followed by a reference to two roads diverged in a yellow wood and taking the one less traveled by. But lurking in the shadows of the yellow wood of Frost’s poetry are much deeper meanings than are immediately apparent. As the modern poet Billy Collins says in his “Introduction to

Horror employs this archetype, which is similar to Freud’s description of the battle between the ego and the id, the struggle between the normal and abnormal.

Solomon suggests that the monster in film and literature is our surrogate,

What is a comic book hero, and why do they struggle so much with their identities? A common definition for a hero is “a person admired for achievements and noble qualities”.

From the outside, Naoto seems cool, calm, and collected. At times she can come off as cold or unemotional, but only because, despite her small stature, she attempts to put on the air of someone much more mature than her age. Through this demeanor (and while masquerading as a male), she earned the title of “Detective Prince,” and was a consultant of the police, although she also often worked on her own. Even with this exterior, however, it's easier to illicit an emotional reaction out of Naoto than

Remember the days where Batman flew over Gotham City, defeating the Joker once and for all? Or maybe when Spider-Man stuck on the walls of buildings to defeat Sand Man?

He took his walker and trudged it over to the pantry. Just then, his friend Thomas jumped in from a nearby window and says to him, "Dude you seriously

Shadows on the Sidewalk Dr. Owens tells me it's called Sciophobia. He says I’m afraid of shadows. But they’re not just shadows, and no one, no one believes me. Everyone just always accepts the fact that shadows are there, casted when light is draped over an object. Darkness, that's what they truly are. Infinite darkness.

I don’t know how but everyone knew that I was the petite blonde child who had been locked away for seeing shadows, and hearing things that weren’t real. Things were never easy from that day on. I couldn’t expect everyone else to understand what had happen when I myself could barely grasp everything. They didn’t have to look at me like I had murdered someone
