The poem ‘Mending Wall’ by Robert Frost gives examples of mental and physical boundaries.
Language Techniques Robert Frost uses includes imagery which occurs in the first few lines in this poem...
“...Something is there that doesn’t love a wall,
That send the frozen-ground-swell under it
And spills the upper boulder in the sun”.
A quote is repeated frequently throughout this poem...
“...Good fences make good neighbours”.
This statement could be used as a mode of sarcasm towards the persona.
It could also be a simile in which it compares people (neighbours) to beings (the fence) which ideally outlines what the rival had wanted the persona to be before the problem was taken further.
