6. Nature
Nature is first and most
important characteristics of
Frost's poem .Frost places a
great deal of importance
on nature in all his
collections .

majority of pastoral scenes
that he describes are
inspired by specific
locations in New England
Frost Nature is not simply
a background for poetry,
but rather a central
character in his works.
7. Everyday life
Frost is very interested in the
activities of everyday life, because
it this side of humanity that is the
most " real" to him .
Even the most basic act in a
normal day can have numerous
hidden meanings that need only
to be explored by a poetic mind.

into a discussion of the value of
hard work and the traditions of the
New England courtyard.
8. Communication
Communication or the lack
thereof, appears as a
significant theme is several
of frost 's poems ,as frost
presents it as the only
possible escape from
isolation and despair.
9. Isolation of the individual
This theme is closely related to
the theme of communication .
The majority of the characters in
Frost's poems are isolated in one
way or another.
Even the characters that show no
sign of depression or loneliness,
such as the narrators in " The
sound of Trees" or " Fire and ice,"
are still presented as detached
from the rest of society, isolated
because of their unique
perspective.
10. Rural life versus Urban
life
This theme relates to Frost's interest in
Nature and everyday life .Frost's
experience growing up in new England
exposed him to a particular way of life
that seemed less complicated and yet
more meaningful than the of a city
dweller.
Frost has more opportunities to find
metaphysical meaning in everyday tasks
and explore the relationship between
mankind and nature though the glimpses
of rural life and farming communities that
he expresses in his poetry.
