Symbolism, Decoration of Poetry, Importance of Double MeaningAbstract
The use of Symbolism has an important role in poetry because it makes the work gorgeous and beautiful. Robert Lee Frost’s poems “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” and “Acquainted with the Night” are full of figures of speech and elements of Symbolism. The research is small-scale and based on the elements of symbolism. The researchers, through a qualitative method of close reading the theoretical framework of Symbolism, mainly focus on the text of poems to analyze the elements of Symbolism in the selected poems. The researchers have found it in abundance because it explains the double meanings of the words. Besides, it highlights how the poet uses the elements of symbolism and how he decorates his poems by using these elements.
