The Design of Robert Frost Robert Frost outlines an ironic and disturbing situation involving a flower, a spider, and a moth in his poem "Design." The text of the poem suggests the possibility of the absence of a god, but does little more than simply ask the question, as Frost's speaker does not offer the answer. By examining the events of the poem in the speaker's first stanza and second annotative stanza, we come to the idea that perhaps the world is in disorder and not controlled by a higher being. The first stanza establishes the scene as ironic and disturbing. , containing gruesome images that seem to replace the notion of chastity with that of evil. The speaker throws the reader right into the action without warning in the first line, which reads “I found a dimpled spider, fat and white” (Frost line 1). The tone is personal, as if he were talking to himself out loud, trying to understand something. Also in the first line, he mentions that the spider is white, which is strange considering that most spiders are dark in color. "[D]implied [...,] fat and white" sounds familiar to how one would describe a child (1), implying the spider's innocence. Frost's spider sits "[o]na white heal-all" (2), which is a herb that was however...... in the center of the card ......ability to believe that a creator would allowed such sin and cruelty to exist without doing anything, especially when this sin so powerfully overshadows any good that remains in the world. Although much of the second stanza is interrogative, the poem ends with a period, not a question mark, signifying the certainty, not of a world without God, but of the idea that if a creator lives, his actions are senseless and incomprehensible. In his sonnet "Design", Robert Frost sets out his idea of ​​an uncontrolled universe, devoid of a creator or a competent creator. He explains his theory by mapping a natural crime scene filled with bug-eating insects and the significance of something that seems “so small"".
