The Fragility of Life in Frost's Out, out and Mid Term BreakThe poem "Out, out" by Robert Frost is a poem about a young boy who uses a saw circular. When fate decides the boy's time is up, the saw cuts off the boy's hand and the boy slowly dies. The theme of “Out, out”, as well as “Mid Term Break”, is the fragility of life. "Out, Out", like "Mid-Term Break", focuses on the question of God's randomness in choosing who lives and who does not. This fragility is underlined by the fact that the title of the poem is a line from the play Macbeth: “Outside, extinguished a brief candle, life is only a walking shadow. » This way of describing life as a candle gives the impression that whoever keeps that candle might as well blow it out, at any time, in any place and just as suddenly. The rhythm of this poem varies from slow and steady at the beginning and then fast in the middle, then back again slow and steady. At the beginning of the poem, the pace is very slow and gentle as the poet introduces us to the future incident. Once the incident occurs, the pace of the poem quickens considerably. This increased pace is linked to the speed with which the incident reached the people observing the accident. The tone of the poem evolves around acceptance. Unlike "Mid Term Break", the poem does not contain any real sadness or funeral, there do not seem to be any real emotions shown by the other family members. For example, no one mourns the death of this boy. People who witnessed the accident accepted this accident as an earthquake, a natural disaster that cannot be avoided. In this poem, Robert Frost uses many techniques to describe his feelings and emotions about death; these emotions and techniques can be compared to those of Seamus Heaney in the poem “Mid Term Break”. In "Out, out" and "Mid Term Break", the poets use candles to symbolize life, although the poets use this symbolism. differently. In "Mid Term Break", Seamus Heaney uses candles to symbolize eternal life, while Robert Frost uses candles to describe the vulnerability of our lives in the title of his poem "Out, out". In the first part of this poem, the poet uses the technique of onomatopoeia. This means that it uses words that resemble their meaning..
