Question :-
figure of speech in Stopping by woods in a snow Evening
Answer :-
Robert Frost’s poem ‘Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening’ is not that rich in the use of figurative languages. But the ones found in the poem are as follows —
Alliteration
Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds in the beginning of nearby words.
He will not see me stopping here
He will not see me stopping hereTo watch his woods fill up with snow.
He will not see me stopping hereTo watch his woods fill up with snow.The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
Personification
Personification is attribution of human characteristics to non-human objects.
My little horse must think it queer
He gives his harness bells a shake
He gives his harness bells a shakeTo ask if there is some mistake.
He gives his harness bells a shake
He gives his harness bells a shakeTo ask if there is some mistake.
He gives his harness bells a shakeTo ask if there is some mistake.In the above lines the horse has the ability to think like humans and to ask if there is a mistake.
Hyperbole
Hyperbole is an exaggerated statement.
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
To watch his woods fill up with snow.‘Fill up with snow’ to mean the snow-covered woods is a deliberate exaggeration from the poet.
Allegory and Symbolism
As most readers and critics find it, the entire poem is an allegory with an inner meaning in addition to its surface meaning. The ‘promises’ are symbolic of life’s responsibilities and ‘sleep’ is symbolic of death. The poet cannot enjoy the beauty of the woods as he has promises to keep and miles to go before he sleeps. The poet hints at the need of a strong sense of duty restraining the temptations of life.
