On Ambiguity of Metaphorical“Barriers in Frost’s Poetry
Barriers are distinctive conceptual metaphor in Frosts poetry.They are erected between not only nature and man,but also self and others,man and man.They may emerge in the metaphorical form of concrete objects,and appear as invisible blocks as well.Barriers are employed as a shield to preserve individuals integration from the mysterious nature,a defense to retain the identity of both“selfand“others,a strategy to deal with human relationships; nevertheless,the desire to remove barriers is equally embedded in Frosts work so deeply that he is ready to take risk of disturbing the state of equilibrium.Such paradox and ambiguity produce multiple levels of interpretation,which is the reason why his poems find an echo in the hearts of many of readers.
