Mending Wall By Robert Frost

In Shakespeare’s play Macbeth, Lady Macbeth is introduced as a powerful and authoritative character, but yet mentally unstable. After receiving a letter from Macbeth about the witches prophecy, she instantly arranges Duncan’s murder. However Lady Macbeth has symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia. For example, during the assassination of King Duncan, she shows her mental instability by being unable to kill Duncan due to his resemblance to her father. Following this event, Lady Macbeth’s supposedly dominant mental state gets worse as she continues to hallucinate and sleepwalk; thus leading to her mental downfall.

Robert Frost’s “Mending Wall” and its parody by Kenneth Koch “Mending Sump” have a tightly wound connection of style, situation, and irony. Frost, being a man of simplicity when it comes to the writing of his poetry, narrates about boundaries and how necessary they are in any relationship. He criticizes his neighbor

In his poem 'Mending Wall', Robert Frost presents to us the thoughts of barriers linking people, communication, friendship and the sense of security people gain from barriers. His messages are conveyed using poetic techniques such as imagery, structure and humor, revealing a complex side of the poem as well as achieving an overall light-hearted effect. Robert Frost has cleverly intertwined both a literal and metaphoric meaning into the poem, using the mending of a tangible wall as a symbolic representation of the barriers that separate the neighbors in their friendship.

The poem “Mending Wall” by Robert Frost describes the relationship between two neighbors and their wall. Frost uses literary devices such as diction, syntax, and tone to illustrate the theme that when people relentlessly pursue creating barriers, they reinforce outdated customs. Use of diction in The Mending Wall shows the concept that the tradition of barricading one from neighbors is useless. The speaker sees his neighbor at the wall “bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top / in each hand, like an old-stone savage armed” (Lines 39-40). This vivid description of a man so set in this ways, yet is ashamed to execute them -- as he does so in the dark, where he won’t be seen; this darkness also alludes to a someone without enlightenment, or wisdom.

The poem, “Mending Wall” by Robert Frost is about the word wall which has many different meanings both physically and emotionally depending on the way the word is used. Physically, a wall is a man-made structure which can be made of brick, stone, wood, metal, drywall, glass or any type of material. The material used to erect a vertical wall and the size of the wall depends on the purpose of the wall. The size of the wall is determined by the person building the wall. The outdoor wall can differ drastically from an indoor wall. The outdoor wall purposes vary from a property boundary, to keep mulch and dirt in flower beds or vegetable gardens, to block a view, to prevent people from wandering off path, and as a way to keep animals

To start off, Robert Frost, uses the word “something” to symbolize nature. So then that line, “Something there is that doesn’t love a wall” (Frost, 1), is basically saying nature doesn’t love a wall. Throughout the poem there is an intense contrast between the speaker and the neighbor. The neighbor is laconic and traditional, while the speaker is much more distinctive with his words and feelings about “society”. The crucial lines in “Mending Wall” iis when Frost writes this, “Before I built a wall I’d ask to know What I was walling in or walling out, And whom I was like to give offense”, (Frost, 32-34) this is explaining how for the action of “building a wall” would needed to be questioned, rather than followed without a doubt by a large quantity of society. Which is parallel to the act of nonconformity. The speaker is trying to get the neighbor to question, why? The speaker mentions that the neighbor only says “Good fences make good neighbors” (Frost, 27), but the speaker italicized “Why” in line 30. Which shows it is very important to him to question and to wonder, because it provides more

The people in the UK who use CAM (Complementary Alternative Medicine), are usually satisfied with their mainstream health care. The usage of CAM correlates with their philosophy; self-healing and self-care. Individuals who choose to use an alternative way, do so because they usually want to expand their options. CAM has come to identify as self-care, which plays a big role in the UK health care system, it focuses on prevention rather than curing[1]. Due to insurance coverage, preventive care is presumed to-be much cheaper than paying out-of-pocket for services that are not covered, such as, medications and GP visits. Conversely, due to long wait times with GP's and emergency rooms, the most efficient way to avoid the agonizing wait is to,

In Robert Frost’s poem, he used a broken physical wall between two neighbors, who both have differing thoughts on the boundary, to illustrate the varying barriers that humans put up between themselves and others.

In Robert Frost’s timeless piece, Mending Wall, he creates a tranquil mood that has a small climatic bump between to neighbors who come together to mend their stone fence. He throughout the poem he uses metaphors, symbolism, similes, as well as other literary elements to convey the importance of the wall. Without the use of literary elements his poem wouldn’t have the same effect on the reader, it would change the whole poem and the way it’s perceived. The theme of the poem is to respect others choices or decisions.

Robert Frost’s “Mending Wall” is a poem where Frost is skeptical over his neighbor’s belief that “Good fences make good neighbors.” The dispute between Frost and his neighbor is about whether or not they need a barrier such as a fence between them in order to be good neighbors. According to Frost, there is no reason for a fence because if it is built in a house “where there are cows” that need to be protected and kept from escaping, a fence is necessary. However, “[in both Frost’s and his neighbor’s homes] there are no cows” and therefore a fence serves no purpose. I think there are different reasons for people to build fences between neighbors. For example, people build fences for privacy, protection or even cosmetics. However, in reality

Robert Frosts poem “Mending Wall”, tells of two neighbors who meet once every spring to repair the wall that separates their properties. The speaker starts out by describing that there’s something that keeps breaking the wall, producing gaps. Two possible causes are the hunters and the frozen ground. While the two neighbors repair the wall, they keep it between themselves, as a separation. The poem goes on to discuss the struggle that the two have with the stones in repairing the wall, attempting to balance one on top of the other.

The discoveries we make can come as a result of questioning society and the world around us. Conversely, discoveries can also be the catalyst for us questioning our world and society. These discoveries, while sometimes uncomfortable, are what allow us to develop as people, through the consideration of new values, and revelations of different perspectives. Robert Frost explores this in his 1914 poem Mending Wall, where the persona makes spiritual and intellectual discoveries, causing the questioning of traditions, societal barriers, and human relationships. The first person structure and natural imagery in Mending Wall trigger the persona, and audience alike to explore and question elements of their own society, leading to intriguing ideas

Put yourself in the speaker's position while reading “Mending Wall” by Robert Frost. Spending numerous days of the year repairing a wall that is not keeping anything out nor anything in. Most people who value their time would question the point of the wall, therefore they would be questioning tradition. After all it is a springtime tradition the two neighbors participate in, and the speaker states that the neighbor will not go against his father's saying. Although you know there is no point in rebuilding the wall you call upon your neighbor when the time comes; it is easier to rebuild the wall than to question the authority of your neighbor and traditions. I believe that the speaker is someone young
