"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost uses many literary devices such as symbolism, rhyme, meter, and diction to convey meaning to the audience. Frost uses these literary devices to show the journey that the narrator experiences throughout his life.

The narrator was truly alone, and this is where the contemplation of suicide begins. People sometimes give up on suicide because they don't want to be a burden to anyone. But Frost writes, “His house, however, is in the village” (Frost 2), so the narrator would not disturb the owner, or anyone else, to
