TREATMENT OF THE THEME OF COMMUNICATION AND LANGUAGE INFROST’S POETRY WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TOHOME BURIAL AND MENDING WALL

Abstract

The main purpose of this article is to analyze the treatment of theme of communication and
language in Frost’s poetry with special reference to Home Burial and Mending Wall. In Home
Burial, the mother cannot reconcile to the fact that she has lost her kid while her husband is
forced to realize this bitter truth. Frost has presented this theme of communication excellently
and as a result he depicts the real portrayal of a domestic life which is disturbed due to lack of
communication. In Mending Wall this theme takes the shape of barrier between the two
neighbours. This study investigates the barrier of communication in Home Burial and Mending
Wall, which proliferates melancholy, alienation and distressed condition. If there is no harmony
between the views of the two individuals, they cannot remain happy and they cannot lead a calm
life. Use of harsh language comes to the forefront as a result. Frost as realist has depicted this
theme which ultimately generates his other theme of isolation, suffering and conflict.
