His poetry is a product of the times and a reflection of society. Robert Frost’s poems make extensive use of metaphor, especially the metaphor “Life is a journey”. Based on the theory of conceptual metaphor, this paper tries to find out how the poet constructs metaphor system and expresses his attitude towards life in Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.
