Does a typical robert frost poem have a lone man confronting nature, asking a question and getting no answer?

It's been a long time since I looked at any of this stuff but I think the answer without elaborating is yes.

i know the answer is yes, but im really stuck on how to elaborate it and examples and such, i cant go into detail on it, i dont know what to say really.

Cite examples from Frost poetry and show how he develops the lone man against nature theme.

Two roads diverged in a yellow woods......

Yes. Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening. Another good example.

without a doubt Birches, and Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening are your best bets.

"The Road Not Taken" another excellent example

The question these poems ask seems a rhetorical one, allowing introspection into ones life.and then, more or less, an affirmation of ones own life.

Then again, I could be hallucinating...


Just wanted to add(upon reading the original question again) that this affirmation is indeed an answer.

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

-- Robert Frost

*no real advice here, but this poem doesn't seem to fit the typical Robert Frost Poetry type, Maybe that's why I like it...

I love Robert Frost.

The answer to this is Yes. Its up to you to do the work and read some poems and get your own meaning from them.

Fire and Ice is a great poem, crackprogram
