Abstract

The thesis focuses on the study of archetypal criticism to explore the archetype of water employed in Robert Frost's poem Spring Pools. Archetypes can be tracked back to mythologies and rituals which root deeply in our unconsciousness. It can be aroused in certain circumstance and influences our thoughts. The archetype of water in Frost's poem Spring Pools comes to be equated with such things as life and nourishment. With the application of archetypal criticism in this poem, the author tries to interpret the metaphorical meaning of water in order to have a better understanding of literary works.
