Abstract

This study examines the works of Robert Frost through the lens of ecocriticism, focusing on how his poems depict the relationship between humans and nature in the context of posthuman thought, climate change, and diverse planetary concerns. Using qualitative textual analysis methods, this study analyzes poems such as "The Road Not Taken," "Fire and Ice," and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" to reveal how Frost does not simply depict nature as a passive backdrop or object , but as an entity that plays an active role in human life. Through "The Road Not Taken," Frost demonstrates the ontological equality between humans and nature, where the narrator's decisions are influenced by equal natural forces. The poem "Fire and Ice" is explored as an allegory for the ecological disaster caused by climate change, reflecting the duality of threats facing the planet. Meanwhile, "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" evokes a sense of awe and reverence for nature, while also encouraging readers to consider the broader implications of human actions on the environment. This study concludes that through his works, Frost not only presents poetic reflections on nature, but also invites environmental readers to reflect on human responsibility in maintaining ecological balance amidst the global crisis.
