In “The Mountain,” Robert Frost uses analogies to convey his message. The mountain is really the center of the city. Frost's analogies are used in the themes of personification, nature, and metaphors. It also incorporates images along with the themes it uses. His comparisons allow the reader to observe how the mountain plays a huge role not only in the city but throughout the poem. Personification is an important theme in this poem. In lines 1-2 it says: "The mountain held the city as in a shadow that I saw so much before I slept there once:". Also in lines 3-4 it says, "I noticed that I missed the stars in the west, where its black body cut the sky." This is an example of personification. In lines 5-6 it says: Close to me it seemed: I felt it like a wall behind which I was sheltered from a wind. Most of the examples that show personification in this poem are displayed in the first two lines of the poem. In verses 1-2 it says, “The mountain held the city as in a shadow that I saw so much before I slept there once:.” This is an example of personification, because the mountain cannot literally contain the city. It means that the mountain is so massive that it forms a shadow over the city. The speaker had a different view of the city where the mountain is located. The city where the speaker lived is shadowed by the mountain. His perspective of the city was different, in the sense that he saw things differently and saw many things in the city that someone from the mountains would see differently. different In lines 3-4 it says: "I notice that I miss the stars in the west, where they are black bodies cut into the sky. The mountain not only gave the city, but is in a different perspective of its surroundings...... in the center of the card......g.” Getting to the top of the mountain could be interpreted metaphorically as achieving a goal. There is a point in life when you have to decide for yourself what your course in life will be. You shouldn't just go through the motions of life. It is always important to set a goal and have a purpose. It is also important to always give one hundred percent of your efforts to whatever you are doing. The feeling you get when you achieve an important goal is an indescribable feeling, it's so rewarding. "The Mountain" is a poem that contains many metaphors and life lessons. Frost's use of dialogue and analogies makes the poem relatable to readers. His use of analogies also allows the reader to interpret the poem from numerous perspectives. There is no right path in life. “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”
