“Mending Wall”: 1.Why does the poet say that the wall stays always where we do not need it (line 23)? 2.How do you understand “Something there is that doesn’t love a wall” (line 1)? 3.How do you understand “Good fences make good neighbors” (lines 27, 45)? 4.How do you understand “He moves in darkness” (line 41)?

“Mending Wall”: 5. What do we wall in and what do we wall out? 6. Can we do away with all walls? 7. What is the speaker’s attitude toward mending wall? 8. What does the wall symbolize? 9. What are the outstanding musical devices?

Frost’s aesthetics:  Frost depicts mostly New England landscape, but his poetry reflects the fragmentation of modern experience and alienation among modern men.  He wrote in Wordsworthian style—plain speech of rural New Englanders, short traditional forms of lyric and narrative, and symbols from everyday country life.  He had a lot of Emerson in him, seeing nature as a storehouse of analogy and symbol.
