His life was never short of controversies, as he once said that he had a lover’s quarrel with the world. His showed his diverse, independent, half-humorous as well as elusive view of the world he lived in, which can be judged from him comments, such as ‘he was never serious apart from the times when he was fooling’ (Thompson 26). Critics have sharply pointed out that his works lacked the seriousness needed to tackle both political and social problems of the 1930s. Biographers in the later times have created a contradicting and complex picture of Frost. One of his biographers, Lawrence Thompson, presents him as being cruel, anti-intellectual, angry man and a misanthrope. These descriptions are contradicted by Jay Parin, who portrays him as man who needs to be sympathized with, as he describes him as a loner who loved company and always felt that he was separated from his wife and children and was withdrawn into lost thoughts.
