An Old Mans Winter wickedness is written by the American poet Robert Frost in 1916. He went through a lot of trage travels during the whole smell. After experiencing the stopping point his mother, his grandfather and his 2 children, the finger of helpness inevitably worked to shape and contort the views of lifes possibilities. Its unfore exposeable for Frost to predict what will emit tomorrow so that he was called a poet who terrifies”. Thats why the peotry is a mix of the calm and rural.The peaceful erupt with an underlying darkness is an uncommon feature in this metrical composition. Symbolism Forst is repr esentative of c previous(a) winter, â€Å"separate stars” exhibit hope and comfort of the mysterious and dangerous outer(a) piece at night. â€Å"gathers on the pane”lmpersonate the forst to arrange the atmosphere warmer and more quiet. â€Å"cellar”, â€Å"branches”, â€Å"log fired”create some scaring sounds In the winters night to emphasize the peaceful and lonely environment. The dark colors of these ugly and hard images snow tne repressed emotions. lamp” â€Å" labor” birth Teel warm ana peaceTul, Drlng llgnt to the dark and c honest-to-goodness night to eliminate the opinioning of scare. The poet tells us how he as â€Å"a light for no one but himself”, yet again confirms how isolated he is. Frost uses many different literary devices throughout the poem. resource which appeals to our sight, touch and hearing senses. Frost has used imaginativeness such as â€Å"In clomping there, he scared it once again” which appeals to our touch because you can closely feel how he has stomped the floor to try and frighten absent off the un realisen.He has appealed to our hearing senses by using personification, â€Å" give care the roar of trees” lets you almost hear how the trees were thrashing slightly on the cold winter night. Using contraries and ontradictions is some other characteristic of this poetry. For example, the scaring sounds and the peaceful and quiet atmosphere make the old man feel more adventure and lonely. The warm light and fire in the room is on the contrary to the dark and cold winter to convey the scare of the unknown outer world of the old man. Also, Frost determinde to continue his old syle of using common, everday speech.It is simple to understand the superficial meaning of his poetry or else of the underlying theme. The poetry tells that an old man stands alone in his house in the position of winter. His memory and legs crippled by old age ambles around his hou se without remembering who he was or even what he was doing. At one point, he becomes frightened by the cellar beneath his feet and the dark night outside, and he stomps his feet loudly to frighten out the unknown. Eventually the old man dozes in antecedent of the fire, after being disturbed by a shifting log, falls into a deeper sleep.The rural images like â€Å"forst” â€Å"cellar” â€Å"tree” â€Å"lamp” â€Å"moon” to convey his emotion of scaring and isolation. An Old Mans Winter Night creates a concrete view ofa lonely and amnesiac old man in the wooden house. I can see an old man who is trying to get away from the scaring environment and finally he succeed in sleeping beside the warm fire. An Old Mans Winter Night deals with the predicament of an old man who is dying on a cold winters night. From the title of this poem, the reader energy expect a warm and cozy report about an old man in confront of a crackling fire.Frost denies this co mforting expectation and instead creates a haunting narrative. What is the most scaring point is that the old man has lost his memory and it seems nonsense to exist in this world. But he still keep a house, a farm in the countryside. As to the emotion author wants to communicate, I think, its relative to the life story of him. At that time, he still didnt mete out his farm and enjoyed the life being a granger in the countryside. However, the death of his children make him to imagine the time to come life in his old age.He is afraid that tidy sum will forget him and he will die by himself without accompanying by his children. This kind of gloomy emotion influence the poem. The readers will find a poor old man struggling to turn up his value to live. From my perspective, I feel merciful to the old man. He was place at the position of conclusion o clues to who and where he is. Maybe he is in his home but he cannot find the sense of belonging and he would like to risk for the dan gers. He absolutely knows that the outer night is dangerous and he still goes out and talk to the moon.I can feel the old man is who in reality wants to get cares and passionateness from other people but he cannot know what is going on. He is representative of the Frost and they are all want to escape from the scare of death and company. Obviously we can see from the poem, Frost precious his country life and this kind of life really give him sparks in wrltlng poems mos OITTerent Trom tneme 0T otner Frosts poems, tney focus on the isolation from the modern society, on the contrary, this poem doesns want to express this kind of meaning.http://www.studymode.com/essays/An-Old-Mans-Winter-Night-Analysis-1602199.htmlhttp://www.gradesaver.com/the-poetry-of-robert-frosthttp://www.english.illinois.edu/Maps/poets/a_f/frost/frost.htmhttp://www.english.illinois.edu/maps/poets/a_f/frost/oldman.htmhttp://www.english.illinois.edu/maps/poets/A_f/frost/fireice.htm\r\n'
