In the Beginning of Robert Frost’s poem, Frost uses the term “yellow wood” which means Fall.
“Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one travellor long I stood
And look down one long as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth”
Yellow wood means the leaves are falling and changing colors. The season creates the mood of the poem. “Maybe its hardwired into us that spring has to do with childhood and youth, summer with adulthood and romance and fulfillment and passion, autumn with decline and middle age and tiredness but also harvest, winter with old age and resentment and death.” (Foster 178) Seasons give readers an image and a prediction for the end of the story.
