summary of Robert Frost's poem "A question"
Answers
Answer:
The poem asks you to analyze your life, to question whether every decision you made was for the greater good, and to learn and accept the decisions you have made in your life. One Answer to the Question would be simply to value the fact that you had the opportunity to live.
Answer:
According to Shakespeare, “brevity is the soul of wit.” According to a popular expression, “slow and steady wins the race.” According to a lot of sources, contemporary and otherwise, there’s a certain value in taking things slowly, in the smaller, less grand aspects of life. A truly skilled poet, one might argue, is capable of expressing deeper emotion in a single stanza than a less skilled poet may were they to write an entire epic. Sometimes, a brief shot of emotion can be more overpowering in its simplicity than the greatest of laments.
Robert Frost’s A Question follows this theme strongly. It is one of the shorter works written by the poet, but it is filled with powerful emotion that renders the titular question as something to truly consider and think about in day-to-day living.
