“Love and a Question” by Robert Frost is trying to get readers to see that love can be strong and change people’s mindset from doing the need or want to help to something that could wait. In this poem Frost uses the ideas of love, decisions and sacrifice to get his point of love and how decisions are made across to the reader.
Love is a big part of human life. Love in this poem can be described in two different ways. One way is the love of helping people. The other way is the love of a relationship. The love of a relationship is more than a feeling when it is real. It is a sensation, a connection, something that can not be replaced. In the poem the speaker is torn between the two types of love at first. It is shown in the first two stanzas that the speaker does not know what to choose. Either to let the stranger into the house and not make love to his new wife, or not let the stranger in and send him out into the dangerous night and make love to his wife. The last line of the poem shows that the speaker in someway have feelings for the stranger. The speaker wish he knew what would happen to the stranger after he sent him out into the night.
The love that is relationship in the poem is shown to win it by the end of the poem. The speaker sends the stranger off with a piece of bread, some money and a prayer. Even though the speaker helped the stranger out in a way, the thought of the love that was going be made from his wife conquered his thought of helping the man out of the unforgivable night. Lines 25-27 backs up the fact that the speaker made the decision of sending the man of into the night.
The love the speaker have for the stranger is not a lot. He thinks of helping the man but the thought of sex overrules it. At the end of ...

...acrificing a few items. The speaker could have been waiting for this moment to give love to his other all his lifetime of being with her. Now was the opportunity to do it and he took up on it.
The placement love can put a person in is not always the best one. It could be a decision called that could affect the people around you. It could be a right or wrong decision that lead to a bad or wrong outcome. Throughout this poem the ideas of love, sacrifices, and decision making is all thoughts that get to the overall point of love. Love is not always good, it can be dangerous and put you in a situation that is not the best. “Love and a question” allows readers to think of every other outcome that could be taken if things be different in the setup. Robert Frost throughout this poem put everything together to make an excellent piece of work that gets straight to the point.

    I personally loved everything that this poem stood for. I liked that this poem had two average people at its center. They were not young or insanely beautiful, but they still showed how amazing love can be and how love goes beyond everything. When it comes down to it love has no gender, age, race, or time it is just about humans loving other humans. In this week’s chapter it is discussed how romance itself has a huge cultural impact and this poem definitely connects with this idea. This poem also follows the cliche of love. The way that love is blinding and will conquer all is presented in a real and believable way, but then it can also be considered unrelatable for some because how romance is set up to be and how high the standards are for true love. Furthermore, I like the idea of love going beyond age, beauty, and time but realistically for most people they will never experience a love so intense. People can though understand how what is portrayed in the media is not how everyone experiences love and that people who differ from this unrealistic standard can still be in love in their own intense beautiful way.

  • An Examination of the Complexities of Love in Millay's Poem, Love Is Not All

    532 Words  | 2 Pages

    This is a complex poem. She even began with a complex idea, love. What exactly is love? Is it a feeling, an emotion that no one has control of? Is love something you can feel or touch? Some say it is not something that you can feel or touch, but you are well aware when love touches you, because you can feel it. It is an emotion that causes pleasure and pain. In this poem, Millay is showing how complex love is. The first half is about what love cannot do. Love is not a lifesaver, shelter, or a doctor. The second half is about the power of love. Even though love is not tangible, is it as important as something that is? Millay seems to be coming from the idea that love is not everything, but it is important. A question is raised, is love necessary for survival?

To support my response, according to line 1-3 and 5, it states, “Thus of old the Douglas did: He left his land as he was bid, with the royal heart of Robert the Bruce, to carry the same to the Holy Land.” This excerpt from the poem explains about principally that a servant of Robert the Bruce named Douglas, had volunteered to go to the Holy Land to fight for his master, Robert the Bruce.

  • Modern Frost

    1980 Words  | 4 Pages

    Frost is far more than the simple agrarian writer some claim him to be. He is deceptively simple at first glance, writing poetry that is easy to understand on an immediate, superficial level. Closer examination of his texts, however, reveal his thoughts on deeply troubling psychological states of living in a modern world. As bombs exploded and bodies piled up in the World Wars, people were forced to consider not only death, but the aspects of human nature that could allow such atrocities to occur. By using natural themes and images to present modernist concerns, Frost creates poetry that both soothes his readers and asks them to consider the true nature of the world and themselves.

  • Necessity of Love in Browning´s Sonnets from the Portuguese

    906 Words  | 2 Pages

    Browning’s “Sonnet 43” vividly depicts the human dependency of love. She uses irony to emphasize that love overpowers everything. Browning starts the poem with “How do I love thee” (Browning). Ironically, she answers the very question she presents the reader by describing her love and the extent to which she loves (Kelly 244). The ironic question proposes a challenge to the reader. Browning insinuates how love overpowers so that one may overcome the challenge. People must find the path of love in life to become successful and complete. Also, the diction in “Sonnet 43” supports the idea that love is an all-encompassing force. The line, “if God choose, I shall love thee better after death” means that love is so powerful that even after someone passes away lov...

  • Opposing Gender Views in Emerson’s Give All to Love and Browning’s Sonnet 43

    1733 Words  | 4 Pages

    The concept of love has long been the preferred topic of conversation among prominent male poets. Towards the closing of the sixteenth century, however, the emerging of the female poet took place. With the introduction of Queen Elizabeth, an initial path was now cleared for future women poets to share their views on the acclaimed topic of love. Due to this clashing of ideas, the conflicting views of two exceedingly different sexes could manifest itself. Who better to discuss the topic of love then Elizabeth Barrett Browning, who expresses her ideas with intelligence comparable to the best male poets, and Emerson, world renowned for his poignant opinions? In accordance with the long history of conflict between males and females, both Emerson’s "Give All to Love" and Browning’s "Sonnet 43" convey the pleasure love brings, but while Emerson’s poem urges the retention of individualism in a relationship, Browning pleads for a complete surrender to love.

  • An Analysis Of Ephemeral Love In 'Coleman (1993)'

    1064 Words  | 3 Pages

    As Karr puts it, “White pawn to black knight, I travel always towards your missing face.”(1). She references chess pieces not only because it was her favorite past time with her lover but also because she considered Coleman to be her black knight and she was the white pawn. She “travels” towards his missing face because she wishes to keep him in her heart forever. Her leaving town was not enough closure for her, therefore this poem is her coming to terms with his death and keeping his memory alive in the written form. It is uncertain how long the speaker is away from the town however, it is apparent that this experience left a lasting impression on her because she still thinks back and "travels" towards his missing face. She even has final words for him, "Coleman, you rode that ghost horse hard and recklessly against the dark, but could not break it." (1). She is again referencing him as a knight riding his horse, fighting against opposition. Whether it be his father or the white town boys he fought back in his own way which was not striking his father or the white boys back. This was the speaker thinking back about who Coleman was since she liked this aspect of him. As stated previously, she called him hiding his bruises quiet chivalry which was her way of admiring his fortitude. She remembers this as a sad time because Coleman has passed away however, its happy at the same time because of the time she spent with

    The poem begins with a negative view of love, “Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain;” she compares it to essential items such as food, sleep, and shelter (Millay lines 1-2). Millay questions the validity of love, and its purpose and place in life. If something is not needed, is it important? At this point in the poem, it is very clear that Millay does not feel love as being essential to her life. She even states that love is not a floating spar; it will not help drowning men nor help anyone survive, because it is just an emotion. This theme that love cannot save you from

    Frost gives just enough details in his writing to provide the viewers with a clear picture but allows them the freedom to create their own interpretations. One of the main things that make this poem attractive is the dilemma of picking a path. People immediately relate to that dilemma because most people face it numerous times throughout their lives. The Paths in the woods and forks in roads are metaphors for the many problems and decisions that fill one’s life. This poem says that we are free to choose, but we do not really know what we are choosing between. It does not say to take the path less traveled by nor take the path that is more traveled. The speaker knows that he will either second guess the decision somewhere down the line or wonder what was down the other path. In reality there is no right path, only the chosen path and the other path.
