Question

Why is the speaker thinking of destroying 'it'?​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the poem "Mending Wall," the speaker thinks that the long stone wall between his property and that of his neighbor's gets destroyed regularly by two things:

1. When it's springtime and the ground thaws out from being frozen, it swells upward. This swelling of the ground ruptures the wall and leaves very large gaps in it. (Refer to lines 1-4 in the poem.)
