e than none at all. Provide provide! He is clearly making a joke of the materialistic world and believed in down to earth simple things. In Departmental to my opinion Frost is giving his conception about the government and he demoralizes the concept of departments. Its interpreted by some busy ants that are only interested in their own duty, also when the ants see one of their dead they just carry on with business without an emotion, there is a strong parallelism to the human society. His message is unmistakable when you reach the resolution of the poem: It couldnt be called ungentle. But how thoroughly departmental. You cannot get more satirical then this. He is in both poems making the society around him seem stupid and lost, he feels like he is superior to all others but at the same time he feels rejected and isolated from the world and from himself.In the poem To E.T. also has some irony in it. In the beginning it seems to be a simple allege but after third line second stanza you realize that Frost tells about how his friend was a better soldier than a poet and because he has died he is remembered as both. Only after do we realize that the first few lines, he was bored and fell asleep while reading his friends poems. Then he goes on to say that the war seemed over to him more than Frost but next line he says But now for me than you the other way he is basically saying that he has won he is alive now and still writes. Also the last stanza and last line: And see you pleased once more with words of mine? his arrogance prevails even in a time of mourning to his best friend.The correlation between these poems in terms of parody is very evident and can be easily viewed in also the rest of his writings to. He uses the same method to bring his point about. Whether it is nature being alienated with man or him alienated by himself from within he has some relation to the satire and sarcasm in his poems.
