write a brief note on the obligation the narrator has to fulfil in stopping by woods on a snowy evening
Answers
"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" was written by American poet Robert Frost in 1922 and published in 1923, as part of his collection New Hampshire. The poem is told from the perspective of a traveler who stops to watch the snow fall in the forest, and in doing so reflects on both nature and society. Frost claimed to have written the poem in one sitting. Though this is likely apocryphal, it would have been particularly impressive due to the poem's formal skill: it is written in perfect iambic tetrameter and utilizes a tight-knit chain rhyme characteristic to a form called the Rubaiyat stanza.
The question refers to the poem 'Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening', by Robert Frost. The poem is short and simple, but conveys a lot of meaning about the complexity of life.
The speaker is riding a horse and is going from one place to another. He has stopped by the woods, because the beauty of the forested area tempted him. Though he wants to stay back and enjoy the charms of the woods, he cannot. He cannot spend time there, since he needs to reach somewhere. He has prior commitments, for he says that he has 'promises to keep'. Also, he needs to cover a lot of distance before he can rest, for he says there are 'miles to go before I sleep'.
The last stanza is applicable even today. People are so busy handling their materialistic obligations that they do not have the time to enjoy nature, even if they want to. Man is not as free a creature as he thinks. Instead he is tied up because of responsibilities and obligations.
