Overview

The ideal America, a country of people's freedom, started as early as 1620, with the Pilgrims of Plymouth and Puritans of Massachusetts. Since then, American national values have seemed more connected to political life than to literature. Robert Frost dominated the American literary scene and is considered an American symbol, ''the greatest American poet''. His poems are the work of a man who has lived what he writes about.The literary language is being used by Robert Frost to create an impression rather than to reflect the American reality of rural New England. While traditional American values are part of American history, Robert Frost's poetry is a source of emotions and feelings about the American Dream. ''The land was ours before we were the land's.'' Such a line as ''The woods are lovely, dark and deep'' is considered as ''REAL'' as the real woods. While the specific ''WOODS'' from New Hampshire represent an objective reality, a Reality 1, the poem of Robert Frost is a copy of this reality and became a Reality 2. The poet has a responsibility not only to the eternal beauty of the woods, but also to the present beauty of civilisation. In American society, he is free to go or is free to remain. One way or another, the past and present are together in the same image, and the poet is a part of this landscape. ''A poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom''. (Robert Frost)
