Answers
Answer:
Frost has presented nature in quite an unconventional manner. While in other nature poems we come across birds such as nightingales or sparrows, Frost has used a crow in this poem. A crow can be associated with something dark, black, and foreboding. That is why other poets usually mention singing nightingales or beautiful white doves in their poems.
Also, the poet has written about a hemlock tree, which is a poisonous tree. He has not written about a more beautiful tree such as maple, oak, or pine because these trees symbolize beauty and happiness. Frost wanted to symbolize feelings of sadness and regret, which is why he used a hemlock tree.
The crow and the hemlock tree represent sorrow. The dust of snow that is shaken off the hemlock tree by the crow stands for the joy that Frost experiences. He has, therefore, used an unconventional tree and bird in order to contrast them with joy in the form of snow.
Frost in his poem 'Dust of Snow' has presented nature in a fresh manner.
- Breaking stereotypes- Usually, birds like the crow and poisonous plants like the hemlock are considered ill omens or unlucky. Such aspects of nature are not mentioned in poems, but Frost has shown them in a positive light. He has taken the supposedly negative aspects of nature and portrayed them positively, in a completely fresh manner.
- Showing the connection between man and nature- The simple incident of the crow dusting the snow on the speaker suggests how nature can affect man in so many small ways. It also highlights the connection between nature and man. One small incident can trigger such a big change in a human.
The poem also suggests that nature is neither negative nor positive. It is neutral. It is upto humans to interpret it as they please.
