Write 5 page essay on the topic Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening.

He finds this cold lonesome freezing night better and more confronting than his life back in his village. Nature is augmenting his aloneness as the night gets freezing cold, dark and it is snowing on its verge. In this poem poet talks about various choices he had to make. His horse also disagreed with him on several choices he made. The biggest and most important choice he had to make was whether to go back to his village or to stay in the woods in that cold night and he favored going home. It was a frenzied decision for him because he loved the deadly chilly night. At one side was the warmth cozy village and other side was freezing night and he had to return home to his village. The third theme describes the passionate relation between man and the natural world. Despite the fact that nature is well liked by poet in this poem but it seems frightening to an individual. The chilling cold night seems scary and mysterious but to the poet it looked seductive. The poet is mesmerized by the beauty of the forest and want to sit there watching it fill with snow. But, he knows it too that if he stays in the woods longer he will freeze and it will cause his demise. Nature is a mysterious inspiration to the poet in this poem as he wishes to stay in the woods in spite of the fact that they bear serious consequences. The last theme discussed in this poem is of society and class. ...

Poet is unconcerned about society or its people and wish to be alone in the woods. To us, village is the cute, warm and tranquil place but to the poet these qualities are part of the woods. To him, village is a reminder of his responsibilities, obligations and duties. This is a very deep poem with a lot of meanings and interpretations one could develop from it. One of the analyses that could be drawn from the poem is that the poet is considering a suicide by staying in the woods and die of the cold there. He wants to die in the isolation of the forest where no one can reach out to assist him. But then, he changed his mind and preferred his not so good life against it. He had certain obligations to fulfill, certain responsibilities which he has and jobs he had to finish before he dies. These promises that he made to some one made his heart turn towards the village and his home. He does not want to go back to his domicile but had to as nature with its scaring mode left him with no choice. I believe that we have to go in depth while reading this poem and have to contemplate it with differing perspectives or viewpoints. When reading this poem again and again, we can easily establish the idea that the poem is from the perspective of the horse. Horse is a third person here. Skeptics won’t even want to believe this idea but try considering it for a moment. It is a lost horse who is wandering through the forest and is torn down from running in the woods all day long and over fallen tractors. This horse does not want to go back to his master’s cottage and want to be splashed into horse chunks in the woods.
