Abstract

The objective of this research is a critical discourse analysis on the poem "The Onset" by Robert Frost. The poem ‘The Onset’ was taken as the subject of this investigation, which tries to explore Critical Discourse Analysis of the poem. Descriptive qualitative research was employed as the mode of investigation for this study. The objective of this piece of academic writing is to conduct a critical discourse analysis of the poetry "The Onset." The interlink and composition that needs to be conveyed, evaluated, and explained inside the poem's text are topics that are covered in this article. It does so by doing an in-depth analysis of the poem's primary purpose, which is one that is extremely didactic. The meaning of a poem is assumed. It illustrates to the readers how the exact usage of simple phrases can also influence the mental set of persons in a certain civilization. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze how the poet transforms the pessimism and bleak description of winter weather into wishful thinking and then concludes with an upbeat word.
