Question

What is the theme in the poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" b by Robert Frost?

Answer 1

Stopping by the Woods is about death.  How come, he is riding his horse and he knows he is not going to come back.  Winter represents death because its near the end of the year.

The narrator knows he is going to die and he is okay with it.  He takes it slow while riding and takes in the scenery.  Its a depressing poem but Robert Frost is very intelligent in the way he writes his poems

Answer 2

Answer:

One theme of this poem is that the beauty of nature mesmerizes the speaker on a snowy evening. The opening stanza of the poem states that the speaker is attracted to the dark woods filling up with snow, and he stops to take in the beauty of the scene. The quietness of the evening allows the speaker to hear the sound of the “easy wind and downy flake.” The line “The woods are lovely, dark and deep,” also reflects the speaker's appreciation of nature.
