Answer 2

Answer:

Mending Wall by Robert Frost reflects human tendency to build wall between individual societies and nation.

Explanation:

• The poem Mending Wall is about natural human tendencies.
• People always have a tendency to live an isolated life separated from society.
• The poem describes two neighbours repairing their fence that divides the two houses.
• During spring, the families come together to jointly repair the wall.
• But the poet feels that there is no need for a wall between the houses as there are no cows, rather just apple and pine trees.
• The fence shows that the relationship between them is not smooth and that both families live an isolated life from one another.
• The wall is the representation of the emotional boundary that separates them.
• However, the poet uses nature to convince the neighbours not to build a wall between their lives.
• Thus, the poem reflects the inevitability of societal change, the complexity of human relations, and the tendency of humans to live an isolated life.
