Being a controversial figure in his era of society, Robert Frost was often criticized by critics of his views of society. Frost was deeply influenced in writing poetry through his frustrations and hard times during his childhood years. The thought of losing his fiancee, Eleanor White, profoundly moved him and he was considering suicide. In Frost's poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," Frost contemplates death through strong diction and deep metaphors, knowing what it feels like in his own first-hand experience.

First off, Frost uses metaphorical diction throughout the entire poem. Words and phrases such as "frozen lake", "darkest", and "lovely, dark, and deep" becomes utilized beyond the literal meaning. Frost employs the strong symbolic diction to illustrate the meaning of death in the woods. Als
