Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The crow and the hemlock tree represent sorrow. The dust of snow that is shaken off the hemlock tree by the crow stands for 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.
The reference to snow means the poem is set in winter, which is also symbolic of death. This would symbolize that life continues after death. So the hemlock tree becomes a symbol of death as well as a symbol of rebirth and regeneration. This alleviates the sadness he feels at the loss of his loved one.
In both traditional and modern media, deep snow represents hardships and death. Snow can also symbolize individuality, changes and transformation or new beginnings in various cultures. Traditionally, snow signifies winter and the end of the growing season.
