The wall is the boundary line that man haves against each other. This wall is needed because we as humans do not want others to see what is truly inside. We only want them to see what we want them to see. The facade individuals put on cannot last forever due to the fact when winter comes along and it " sends the frozen-ground swell under it". This means that the weather has moved the rock used to build the wall and what is underneath is truly exposed (mans true self). Every year the narrator and his neighbor has to keep rebuilding the wall and since the rocks used are uneven and "the boulders that have fallen to each" once again lucidly displays that maintaining a facade is nearly... impossible as Frost states "we have to use magic to make them balance". Although it seems ironic that "good fences make good neighbors" there is some truth in this statement. Men need privacy among society. We need privacy and there is the factor of-trust. It also remains the neighbors what is yours and what is theirs which is important because it is the idea of ownership. But...the narrator is not fully opposing the idea of a wall as he states "where there are cows? But here there are no cows". The generals public needs boundary. Due to this wall, the narrator does not see his neighbor clearly "he moves in darkness as it seems to me". Once again the narrator literally cannot see his neighbor but rather his shadow.
