Plath's poetry also uses symbolism and imagery to effectively direct women that the aging process is inevitable and should be accepted as it is the only way to avoid feeling uncomfortable about something they can't control. On the other hand, Frost's short work evokes a point in life when the golden illusions of youth have faded, but unlike Plath's poetry, it is not explicitly autobiographical. What the reader sees in Frost's poem is not a private disillusionment but the harsh tendency of life's beauty to transition into life's pain.
