A study of marriage relationships in selected poems of Robert Frost

Wynn, Amanda A. January 1968 (has links)
Since many of Robert Frost's dramatic and lyrical poems are concerned with domestic situations, this paper is a study of the factors which contribute to successful relationships between husband and wife, and of those attitudes which can produce disappointment in marriage. In general, meaningful man-woman relationships were found to be based on these attitudes: a special rapport or intuitive insight which existed between two people; the idea that two-united are sufficient unto themselves, and can exist in a private world unconcerned with the opinion of others; the mutual acceptance of responsibility which requires the willingness to sacrifice for the mate's happiness; and, the delight and wisdom which a couple may receive from shared experiences. Conversely, certain other factors had a detrimental effect on the unity of husband-wife relationships. These concepts were: the thwarted desire for a child, the failure of husbands to understand the emotional needs of their wives, and the inability of women to resolve their own inner conflicts or frustrations. / M.A.
