This paper aims to set up and justify the argument that Robert Frost’s “The Pasture” is a dramatic monologue poem. The extant studies on it share the misinterpretation that it is a lyric invitation by the poet to someone, unidentified but mostly assumed to be the reader, to come and enjoy with him the beauty of the pastoral experience. This misunderstanding is based on the supposition that the poetic speaker is a poet-narrator, the poem a narrative, and “you” in the poem a narrative addressee. To set it right, I offer a new reading of “The Pasture” on the premise that the speaker is a dramatic character speaking to the specific listener who is in the same poetic situation with him, that the speaker’s apparent monologue is substantially a dialogue between him and his listener, and that the language of the poem is a dramatic speech act performed by the speaker as a character in this short poetic drama. Consequently, this study confirms the argument to be right by matching the new reading with the theory of the dramatic monologue and also with Frost’s own comments on “The Pasture” in one of his lectures.
