Question

What does the reading and misreading of Robert Frost’s poems tell us about our American ideas about individuality, community, and conformity?

Answer 1

Robert Frost's literary works have been widely misread by Americans.

In one of his poems "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”, he talks about human nature. Themes like the issue with individuality and non-conformity are frequently taken up by Frost in his writings. He does not promote individual character, rather advocates for group/society values. In order to convey these ideas, he makes excellent use of poetic techniques in his writings. The 'American Dream' is a partial reflection of how these ideas have influenced the American community.
