Frost uses life, human emotion, nature, and choices usually as his main themes in his writings. He never writes things simply, it may appear simple, but it always is intricate, even if not shown. Frost uses himself and the people around him to inspire his characters. He also takes his life, the world and people around his and those he admires as influences for his poems. The things symbolized in Frost's poems evolve from his life and what he cares about.
Frost" themes consist of life, human emotion, nature, and choices usually. Frost's themes vary through his poem, "Road Not Taken." The poem implies that to approach the dilemma, is to study all of the details until something makes one direction more important than the other. The road forking into two different directions presents a choice, in life as well as in poetry. The reader doesn't want to make a choice; he wants to take both, but he must choose. The choice made leads to a consequence. Individualism is a very noticeable theme, as well. Some would say the poem said to take the path less traveled, seeming to say go through life as a loner, but there is no evidence to support this. The central situation is that one has to choose one road or the other without compromise. Frost also wrote an amazing poem called, "Fire and Ice," which involves three main themes. A major theme in many of his poems, including this one, is "nature and its meaning." Symbolic use of nature was a technique that Frost used to reveal insight into both society and the human soul. Frost draws on nature for his inspiration. He loves to use human emotion and nature, so he used another theme in his poem of, "desire and hate." Frost describes personal Apocalypse in his poem. Fire was used frequently to illustrate the intensity of love and passion. He wants the reader to realize that neither fire nor desire is intrinsically negative, both are necessary to life.
