Robert Frost utilizes exceptional imagery and figurative to highlight the physical wall between the neighbor and him‚ satirizing the critical emotional estrangement and boundary between neighbors. While Frost deems the neighbors’ outdated insistance of keeping the wall unreasonable‚ the speaker’s attitude was somehow ambiguous for there exists a border in his mind.
