Why does the speaker think that his dreams will be ‘troubled7 |
|
Answer» Though Robert Frost insists that the poem is written purely in context of a rural aspect and it shows nothing more than the beauty of nature prevailing upon human mind, intellect and will, yet the poem does allude to certain extended meanings. Hence when the speaker says that his sleep will trouble his dreams, it leads to multiple interpretations. The sleep of the peasant could either be related to death or to intoxication since the apple picker is ‘drowsing’ under the appeasing influence of mighty nature, if it is the human sleep, it is relief from physical exhaustion. But if it is death, apple-picking which is not complete can refer to unfulfilled promises, tasks, dreams and talents. |
