On a Tree Fallen across the Road In Robert Frost’s English sonnet‚ “On a Tree Fallen across the Road”‚ Frost uses imagery‚ alliteration‚ metaphors‚ personification‚ and symbols to portray his theme.

He believes that we will always face struggles in life and come across unexpected surprises that may or may not be good. This does not mean that this will stop us in our tracks‚ but will help shape us

This poem consists of four stanzas and begins with a description about someone else’s woods where the speaker of the poem has stopped by to admire.
