The first three paragraphs of this poem seem to only describe the difference between two roads in the forest, but they contain great metaphorical significance. In the fourth quarter, the poet changed his pen and jumped from the road in the forest to the road of describing life. "And I chose the one with fewer footprints, and then it decided that my life would be different from now on." This sentence contains the poet's infinite feelings about life, which is deeply symbolic and philosophical.
The poet reproduces the beautiful natural scenery with a subtle and fresh artistic style, and reflects the emotional waves in people's hearts through the description of natural scenery. The poem also pays attention to arousing people's association, and integrates reason and emotion into a short poem, which deepens the meaning of this poem and gives people rich enlightenment. Poets convey philosophy to readers through beautiful artistic conception creation and rich lyric expression.
In this poem, the poet expresses his thoughts on life with simple and natural language and rhythm. This unpretentious style makes this poem like a cool and soft wind on a summer night, full of fresh and natural interest, giving people a refreshing feeling.
This poem describes a person's mentality when facing a choice, but does not write the specific content of the choice. The poet is concerned with the choice itself. Every reader can find his own life experience and appreciate the philosophical content in this poem. Because this poem has the openness of connotation, it is like a huge framework, and its content needs readers to fill in, in which they can review their life trajectory, thus being touched and causing deep thought. This poem is divided into four parts. In the first section, the poet stood at the intersection of the forest and hesitated for a long time. He longs for two roads, but he can't walk at the same time, so he can only choose one. Once you choose one, there is no turning back. How helpless and helpless this is. Such a beginning naturally reminds people of the road of life: the road of nature can be turned back, just wasting time, and the road of life, like an arrow, can not be taken back, because time will not go back. So the poet looked at the path that disappeared in the depths of the jungle and lost in thought. In the process of this meditation, he may have made a decision in his heart.
In the second section, the poet chose one of the roads, which is "green grass, very quiet, more attractive and more beautiful", but "few travelers leave footprints". The poet chose a road that few people took, instead of a road that left many travelers' footprints like most people. The poet may know that the road with many footprints is dull and not challenging.
In the third section, the poet embarked on the road of his own choice and began a difficult journey. But at this time, the poet is also very attached to another road. He knows that he can only choose one road, but he can't give up the other, because although he has made a choice, he is still hesitant. In case the choice this time is a mistake, it will be "hard to return." The poet wrote a kind of psychology that ordinary people have here.
In the last section, the poet thinks about the past in the future: in a small forest, he chose one of the roads and decided his own life path from then on. Here, the poet did not write this poem in the third section, nor did he tell the reader the result of the road he chose, but wrote the road he had no choice, leaving the reader with imagination to experience. It is true that the road of life, the result is unpredictable. The poet obviously has the meaning of fate, with a touch of sadness. But writing in this way is closer to the original state of life and can move readers' hearts more. Frost's poem The Road Not Taken reveals the great choices faced on the road of life. The poet didn't say what the two roads represent, but he expounded the choice itself. Poetry describes a person's mentality when facing a choice and making a choice. The poet chose a road that fewer people took. This road may be more difficult and needs to be explored, which is why it is more attractive. The poet may not regret choosing this road very much, but he obviously regrets not choosing another road. However, after all, poets are more sober and sober than ordinary people. He knows that life is ever-changing, and it is almost inevitable to encounter difficulties. Therefore, we can only make one choice, whether it is right or wrong, and once we make a decision, we will be deeply attached to the road we have no choice. If we go that way, it may be more splendid and magnificent, and it may be more ordinary and bleak. In any case, when a choice becomes a reality, people will inevitably give up another road and can only go on, unable to return to the starting point of choice. This is a tragedy that life cannot solve. Recalling 2008, all I left was a sigh and a touch of sadness.
Poets use concrete and clear things to explain abstract concepts and philosophies. How common it is to "split into two roads" in the Woods. People often choose without thinking, or they will easily choose the one that is "more attractive and beautiful" on the surface, but it is likely that this casual move will determine their future life path. In this painting, it is the poet's thinking and exclamation about life. First, the language is too regular and the pronunciation is too regular. Frost emphasized the harmony and unity of sound and meaning in his poetry creation, and creatively put forward the poetic aesthetic concept of "meaningful voice". We can see that the pronunciation of this poem is too regular from two aspects: meter and rhyme, alliteration and semi-harmonic rhyme.
Metre and rhyme are the striking features of poetry. This poem consists of four sections, each with five elements. The dominant meter is iambic pentameter, and the meter changes from time to time on this basis. Take the first section as an example: the first three steps in the second section are iambic, and the fourth and fifth steps are iambic; In the third quarter, the first and second steps are iambic, the third step is iambic, and the fourth and fifth steps are ascending. The ever-changing meter avoids the monotony of pronunciation, adds interest and makes poetry full of rhythm. The rhyme of this poem is abaab, cdccd, efeef and ghggh. The rhyming alternation between different lines in the same section and the continuous rhyming changes between different sections make the sections perfectly combined, giving people a multi-echo, gradual development and endless musical effect.
Wanted wear has the same initials in the eighth line and though, and that and there have the same initials in the ninth line, forming an alliteration form (repetition of initial clusters in a group of stressed syllables). The words in the first line and the last line of the first poem are two and to respectively, which form alliteration and have similar pronunciations, highlighting the poet's dilemma of choosing between the two paths. Semi-homophonic (repeating the same vowel or diphthongs in a group of stressed syllables) is another phonetic feature of this poem. The [o] in the second verse and the [o] in the [not] vividly show the poet's helplessness and regret when he was forced to give up one of the roads due to various restrictions, while [? ] shows the poet's uncertainty about where the other road leads, and more implicitly shows the difficulty of his choice.
To sum up, the excessive standardization of pronunciation endows this poem with a strong sense of rhythm and circuitous musical effect, which makes it sound pleasant and expresses the theme of life choice more effectively. Overregulation of vocabulary Overregulation of vocabulary refers to the repetition of vocabulary. It is not difficult to see that some words appear repeatedly in the whole poem. The personal pronoun I is repeated eight times, which makes the reader integrate into the poem and produces the sound of * * *; The repetition of "harmony" in 234 poems highlights the urgency of choice and the poet's contradiction, hesitation and hesitation. The repetition of verse 24 can highlight the poet's helplessness and his desire to see the end of the road ahead; The repetition of sonnets depicts the picture of a fork in the road and then a fork in the road, and the choice follows the choice, which profoundly explains the philosophy that life is an irreversible journey full of choices. Obviously, the excessive adjustment of vocabulary not only gives the poem a strong sense of rhythm, but also plays a role in rendering the atmosphere and strengthening the theme. Grammar is too regular, and the first and eighteenth lines are almost "repeated", which increases the expressive force, creates the effect of echoing from beginning to end, integrates the poem in structure and strengthens the theme of the poem. The journey of life is full of choices, and different choices have created completely different life courses.
Second, language variation, as a punctuation mark of language image, has no semantics, but has functional significance. The exclamation point in the thirteenth line is used with the exclamation point Oh at the beginning of the line, and combined with the following, it shows the poet's nostalgia for the road he has not yet chosen and his disappointment and helplessness when he has to give up. It also inspires readers that an irreversible life is a process of gain and loss, so don't sigh and regret for what he wants to lose, thus losing new opportunities. The dashes in the eighteen lines are used together with the two repeated I's to form the antecedent, which enhances the effect of language sense and makes readers realize the psychological changes of the poet from indecision to hesitant thinking to making a decision when facing a fork in the road. It can be seen that the poet's choice of punctuation marks seems relaxed and casual, but in fact it is meaningful. Lexical variation The words used in this poem are simple and simple, and there are few obscure and complicated words. A large number of monosyllabic words are used, and poetry is naturally smooth. The poet painted vivid pictures of Lin Qiu in the first person, attracting readers to appreciate the stories of the characters in the book, listening to their inner monologues, and realizing the difficulties faced by struggling travelers, resulting in similar reverie and emotion. As a descriptive sentence, the use of two synonymous adjectives not only meets the requirements of rhyme at the end, but also is used together with the following uncertain words happy, claim and about, which implies that it is the difference between the two roads that leads to the difficulty in choosing, thus implicitly reflecting the poet's hesitation and hesitation as well as the difficulty and caution in making a choice. Grammatical variation 1. place upside down
In the third line, the dragon is upside down when I stand. The adverbial placed at the beginning of a sentence plays an important role besides following the rhyme, which vividly depicts the picture of the poet stopping to think, making the reader feel that life is an irreversible journey full of choices, and each choice defines his own life at the same time, so the poet stands for a long time and hesitates to weigh.
2. Tense
The poet uses the simple past tense to tell the story of choosing a fork in the forest in the past, but the tense of the fourth quarter has changed. The future continuous tense of the sixteen lines is used in conjunction with the repeated years to depict the happy or sad picture when the author looks back on the past many years later, giving people a sense of long time; The present perfect tense of Line 20 emphasizes that all the differences are caused by the original choice, which has become a fact and cannot be changed by regret, thus warning readers to face and stick to their choices. The ever-changing tense in poetry creates the phenomenon of time sequence reorganization and space-time interleaving, which increases the aesthetic effect of poetry. Semantic variation 1. sign
Frost is good at combining thoughts and feelings with symbolic images, so that the content and form of his poems are perfectly integrated. The ingenious use of symbolism in this poem highlights the profound connotation of the poem and makes it more subtle. Road is the central word throughout the poem, and this concrete image symbolizes the road of life. The poet used his experience of choosing a fork in the forest to reveal a theme choice with universal significance. In the journey of life, choices are constantly placed in front of people, and many things cannot be had at the same time. Therefore, we must constantly make choices and trade-offs. Different choices will lead to completely different life trajectories in the future. The poet chooses the road as the theme of his poems, which can be described as learning from others. This thing is well known to people, and it is easy to arouse readers' similar life experiences, so that they are touched and thought-provoking. Combined with the poet's life, this poem can be regarded as a confession of the poet on the road of life: in the dilemma of surrendering to reality and pursuing his dreams, he finally chose to abandon poetry and teach in his career, and chose to stick to his own writing style instead of going with the flow in his creation.
ridicule
Irony is to express one's original intention with words contrary to one's original intention. After describing his thoughts for a long time, the poet chose a lonely road. According to conventional thinking, the way to go is the focus of this poem, which is more suitable for the topic. It seems that the poet's use of the road that has not been taken as the topic violates the theme and creative intention of poetry, but it is not. On the one hand, I take the road I haven't taken as the topic, and add sorry, oh, I like the first day, doubt, sigh and other sentences. It reveals the poet's emotional curiosity, regret, regret and helplessness about the "road not chosen"; On the other hand, we advise readers: since we have made a choice and know that it will inevitably lead to differences, we should not sigh and regret unnecessarily, but bid farewell to the "road without choice" and take the road of choice without hesitation.
3. Polysemy
The polysemy of poetry vocabulary determines the multiplicity of its interpretation space. The poet defines himself as a passer-by in his poems, which can refer to both the passer-by in the forest and the passer-by in life. This poem seems to describe the scene where the poet stopped to think at a fork in the Lin Qiu, but in fact it contains an intriguing philosophy of life. The last section doesn't tell readers where the path chosen by the poet leads and what the result is. Instead, I used a polysemous sigh, which can be a sigh of relief or a lament full of regret, leaving readers room for imagination and thinking. This poem has four sections, each of which is a five-line poem. The rhyme of the whole poem is ABAAB, neat and smooth, and the whole poem belongs to the standard iambic pentameter. For example, in the first section of this poem, the words at the end of the first section are wood, two, standing and possibly undergrowth plants, and the corresponding pronunciations of these words are: ∣d∣, ∣ θ ∣, ∣d∣, ∣d∣. And this poem Look at the first verse and the other three verses of this poem, and its rhyme fully conforms to ABAAB, a standard pentameter rhythm.
Because this poem is the poet's review and reflection on his own life course, most verbs in the poem use the past tense to express memories of the past. For example, verbs such as diverge, stand, look down, bend, take away, want, wear out and have been trampled on. Generally speaking, the tone of this poem should be slow and deep, with some regrets and sighs. In addition, there are no uncommon and difficult words and old sayings in this poem as a whole, and the words used by the poet are simple and easy to understand, which also conforms to the identity of the poet as a modern poet. The contradiction and unity between simplicity and profundity is another highlight of Frost's poetry. The charm of Frost's poetry lies in that it seems natural, direct and simple, but it is not. He once said, "I am a very elusive person … when I want to tell the truth, my words are often the most deceptive." Lawrence Thompson believes: "Most people and Frost's admirers are so fascinated by his seemingly simple poetic art that they can't see through the subtle mask worn by the poet." In Frost's view, the highest value of poetry lies in the "secrecy" of its meaning. This poem, like other works of Frost, only describes an ordinary scene in life, but shows its rich and profound connotation and universal philosophy of life. This is the artistic charm of poetry. Its connotation far exceeds the content expressed on the surface of poetry. On the face of it, the road not to take seems simple. The narrator in the poem walks in the early morning and comes to a fork in the forest. There are two options before him. One road is secluded, and the other road has mixed footprints. Obviously, there are more pedestrians at ordinary times. But on that dry morning, dew was still hanging on the grass on the two roads, indicating that no one had passed there yet. After a moment's hesitation, the narrator decided to take the secluded road, because it was less traveled and more valuable for exploration. But although he made a choice, he was still muttering about what would happen if he chose another road.
At the end of the poem, the narrator fantasizes that he will tell future generations the choices he made in this dry morning many years later, lamenting that the difference in his choice often leads to two completely different life experiences. Therefore, on the long road of life, choice is more important than hard work. Life is choice, either one or the other, and people choose all the time. It is precisely because of different choices that there will be different endings and different lives. People always move forward in choice. Choice is the final decision to swing between various possibilities. Because the outcome is unknown and unpredictable, it makes people indecisive and in a dilemma. The contradiction between nature and society and the contradiction of unity are the combination of opposition and unity. In most of Frost's poems, poets express their thoughts on life and society by describing natural landscapes. Nature inspired the author's creative inspiration, which helped him dispel the loneliness and melancholy in his inner world. His poems are good at using symbolism. Through the description of natural landscape and the refraction of real life, he can always express a profound and intriguing philosophy of life. As a famous poet, The Road Not Taken is also one of the most popular poems. When the poet was walking in the forest, two roads appeared in front of him. However, the poet hesitated when he chose this fork in the road. It is through the natural landscape of the road that the poet reflected that the choice of the road in the real society is not easy. The poem "Road" is just an image, and the author uses this simple image to combine nature with nature. In the third paragraph of the poem, although the poet expresses his nostalgia for another road, he prefers to choose a lonely road. Combined with the author's real life at that time, if the author chose to teach in the normal college at that time was an unimpeded human nature, then the obscure life of writing poetry was full of hardships and twists and turns, but the author chose the latter. Although the poet suddenly looks back on the past, he will also think that if he chooses the former road, it may be another scene. This is also human nature, and this is also the confusion when people face choices on the long road of life, leaving readers with thoughts and reverie. Robert Dayani: Frost is careful not to say what this road represents, so as not to limit their possible symbolic significance. However, the essence of this experience he expressed really makes this poem involve a fundamental problem of human beings: the necessity of making choices.
Liu Chenfeng: The ingenuity of this poem lies in that he only describes the choice, but omits the content of choice in the image of two roads, which makes this poem open in connotation. This is exactly what james cox said in Robert Frost: "The poem itself is incomplete and cannot fully explain itself", and the reader "will be dragged into a similar state of mind by this poem". This poem is like a huge framework, the contents of which are waiting for readers to fill in and experience their own life. This is also the artistic charm of The Road Not Taken.
