In this discussion, explore the symbolism present in two of Robert Frosts’s poems: “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” and “The Road Not Taken.” In your initial response elucidate the symbols you find in both poems. You can discuss them one by one or address them as a whole. Are the symbols people? Objects? What purpose to do they (the symbols) serve in the poem? What mood do they create? And perhaps most important, how is the poem improved (assuming you think the poem is strengthened) by the use of symbols as opposed to expressing the idea behind the symbol more literally?
