POSTMODERNIST ANALYSIS OF ‘STOPPING BY WOODS ON A SNOWY EVENING‘ BY ROBERT FROST

Dr. Smita Bhatt

Abstract :

One of the romantic precursor’s slogan is: ‘God made the country and manmade the town’ and a succeeding romantic poet Wordsworth says: ‘God dwells in Nature and when a man loves Nature the communion is held between God and man’. But it seems quite different in the case of Robert Frost. He is not inclined to believe that God is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. He seems to be withdrawn from the universe all pervading. His oceanic existence is denied. He seems to be cut off from the rest of the world. This is the obvious evidence that his presence is not felt in the woods where the poet stops. Man has lost his faith in nature which, in the romantic age, was supposed to manifest God’s power. This modern phenomenon is gradually unfolded in Robert Frost’s poem ‘Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening’ and the present paper analyses the post modernist approach thereof
