| This thesis is devoted to a study of melancholy which pervades Frost's poetry and its significant function in enriching the meaning of his poetry. It is to carry out a systematical research on this aspect in three chapters. Chapter Two is an observation of Frost's rough life experience and his age, as well as their indispensable influence on his writing; Chapter Three focuses on the analysis of melancholy element as is shown in Frost's poetic techniques by highlighting the uncertainty structure both at the end of the poems and in the arrangement of meaning, and by presenting the special rhyme scheme of Frost's poetry in serving sense; Chapter Four is a general comment on the themes related to the performance of melancholy role in Frost's poetry by exploring the themes of "life and death", "loneliness", "time", and "barrier". With all these efforts, the author of this thesis believes that the melancholy factor accounts for the occupying part of Robert Frost's poetic charm, and attempts to show a different side of Frost and an extended meaning of his poetry in a more specific way, which, the author hopes, can help Frost readers understand him and read his poetry from a brand new angle.
