Robert Frost's "Mending Wall" as an Allegory of Tolerance: Understanding, Acceptance, and Invitation
Abstract
Lane Fischer’s discussion of the nature of law in Turning Freud Upside Down (2005) describes tolerance as the combination of understanding, acceptance, and invitation to do better. This conceptualization of tolerance is equated to love for the other. The poem “Mending Wall” by Robert Frost is analyzed as an allegory of tolerance so defined.
