The Darker Poetry of Robert Frost

Abstract: Many of Frost's poems include an element of melancholy or regret; sadness or longing that reflects what might be called the 'darker' side of the poet. Considering the difficult childhood and life that he experienced, it is logical to surmise that these poems were an outlet for his darker emotions - mostly of loneliness and loss. This 13 page paper looks at six poems reviewed and, or, critiqued by six different critics in order to explore a myriad of perspectives. Bibliography lists 7 sources. (poems are included for referencing).
