how would you describe the poet and his tone in the poem mending wall
Answers
Mending Wall describes the story of two neighbors, sharing ideas and interacting about the wall which needs to be mended. The wall is not only physical but also metaphorical. People put walls between them and others while it was not necessary. The tone is marked by anger of the narrator who sees the wall ruined.
Answer:
The speaker in Robert Frost’s poem Mending Wall says it all from his point of view in a first-person dramatic narrative. We don’t hear a word directly from his supposed neighbour who is reported to say ‘Good fences make good neighbour’. The speaker in the poem seems to have a carefree attitude towards building a wall between neighbours, especially when there is no reason for that. He seems to have a radical mind as opposed to his neighbour’s ‘darkness’, i.e., inclination to old useless prejudices.
