The Development of thought @MENDING WALL@
In this poem the poet has introduced two characters,he himself and his neighbour and they hold entirely opposite views.one view is that there is no need of a wall and the other is that good fences make good neighbour.The poet and his neighaour have,however,decided to set up a boundary wall wherever they go.while the two friends have been often together,the poet's neighbour explained to him his view point that good fences are not like barriers,on the contrary they are the instrument for establishing good relation amomgst neighbours. The poet tries to contradict his friend's view and expresses his own that there is somethng that does not need a wall.
The main thought of the poem is that in the present day world men seem to be suffering from a contradiction.on the one hand they feel that there should be no barriers amongst nations,and on the other,they have a feeling that they should also have the freedom to live within themselves.The contradiction forms the essential theme of the poem and the poet's attitude is that this contradiction is undoubtedly a problem and it is difficult to find its solution.@s.h.malik@
