Frost's poems are selected from nature, but the theme is man, and man is the center of poetry. Although the people in the poem also involve other characters, the person with personality is the poet himself. His poems have individuality, what he writes has unique individuality, and the people he writes have independent personalities, showing humanistic spirit in various pictures and advocating self and nature in modern poems.
This poem is recognized as a short masterpiece in modern poetry circles, with beautiful rhythm, profound philosophy, unpretentious writing and far-reaching artistic conception. The poet rode alone through a forest on a snowy night. The scenery of the Woods in the snow is very attractive, making people linger, staying on horseback for a long time, but the poet can't stay. He has to walk a long way to sleep. "Continue" has another meaning, which refers to the poet's work, and "sleep" refers to the end of life. The poet said that he must finish what he wants to do before he can finally rest in peace.
From the initial level, this poem is in line with our reading psychology, because it skillfully integrates scenery and narrative, which is quite typical of China's traditional pastoral poetry. On a deeper level, there is a contradiction buried in the poem, that is, beauty and agreement cannot be both. As a traveler on a snowy night, Woods and villages pose a call and temptation to him, with both the impulse to enter and the embarrassment and attachment to leave. The scene described in Stopping in the Woods on a Snowy Night needs no explanation, but the interest, philosophy and charm behind it need to be carefully tasted. I stood alone on the edge of the forest. There are things that attract me, but I can't just listen to the call of my inner world. I also need many appointments and responsibilities in the world. "How dare I sleep?" The "sleep" here is intoxicated, quiet and peaceful. A scene arouses people's infinite reverie, and everyone will experience the charm behind multiple lives according to their own experiences.
This poem is not only short, but also easy to understand and concise. But the poet expresses the silence of the Woods and the loneliness of the characters' thoughts on a snowy night with consonants and vowels, which is the basis of the whole poem. The description of riding a horse and enjoying the snow is unforgettable, but it is even more touching in plain language. The image expressed in this poem is very profound, while the Woods and snow have strong symbolic significance. In the poem, Frost reminds himself that "I must keep my promise" with the help of the reminder that "my pony must feel very strange-ask if there is any mistake", which is an anthropomorphic rhetorical device. In fact, the reference of "horse" can be regarded as the other side of the poet and the poet's "ID". A "I" urges forward and keeps going forward. All these vividly depict the poet's ambivalence at that time and enrich the connotation of poetry. Stopping in the forest on a snowy night seems to depict the scenery, but in fact, I feel my feelings through the scenery, and my feelings are in the scenery. Ma and the poet communicate silently, heart to heart, the scenery blends into the poet's heart, and he is willing to throw himself into the embrace of nature. That lovely and deep forest contains something mysterious and unknown, which has infinite temptation to the poet and fascinates him, and the poet finally wakes up: "I have an appointment first" here is the poet's responsibility for life (social family), and this strong responsibility makes. In this sentence, "sleep" takes metaphor as a rhetorical device, expressing the poet's unswerving determination and feeling that his life journey or creative career has a long way to go. This spirit of forging ahead is exactly the display of Frost's enthusiasm at that time.
This poem is a relatively standard iambic four-step poem, with the ending rhyme in the form of A A B A, B B C B, C C D C, D D D D. In addition, the poem also uses alliteration and semi-homonym, such as: His home is in the second line, the ... through, he ... here, see ... stop at the third line and watch ... The poet also repeated some phonemes many times in the poem, and we found many words beginning with /s/ in the poem, such as sweep. Snow, stop, click, sleep, this /s/ sound is repeated constantly, like the rustling of snow, giving people a quiet and elegant feeling. At the same time, many words beginning with /w/ can be found in the poem, such as wind, wood, general and nothing. Hearing this wind-like "whirring" sound, a cold feeling arises spontaneously. No, little ends with /t/, darkness begins with /d/, and the sounds at the end of /t/ and /d/ are very similar to the "click" sound of a horse stepping on ice. A sense of loneliness and gap is in it. The rhyme and semi-homophony in the poem are repeated many times in the same phoneme, and the ingenious arrangement of the first and last sounds greatly enhances the musical aesthetic feeling of the whole poem, makes the whole poem have a clear rhythm, and intuitively decorates and blends the form of the poem.
