Poetry is one of the fundamentals in literature. It expresses meaning through words and communicates deeper ideas within it. Robert Frost was one of the most prominent poets of all time. His work Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening was one of his greatest work, it revolves around the beauty of a forest in the winter. On the surface, it may look like a simple straightforward poem; however, it contains a deeper underlying meaning. Semiotics of Poetry written by Riffaterre will be essential in this paper to dissect the poem. There are various concepts that will be applied in the dissecting the poem like indirection, heuristic and hermeneutics reading, matrix, model, variants, and hypogram.

Abstract

This research aims to formulate the similarities and the differences of the death motif employed in Ragnarok and the Book of Revelation. Both of these stories use the same motif of death but with different portrayal and explanation of the death. The data used in this research are Ragnarok in the epic poem Voluspa and the Book of Revelation in the Bible. This research utilizes qualitative descriptive method and the theory of Genetic Structuralism to dissect the data. The steps are identifying the motifs, interpreting the motifs, and comparing the result. The findings show that even though the death motifs are prevalent in these two works, the themes riding the motifs are different. This happens because of the different collective subjects and the worldviews in which the works are created.
