In “The Silken Tent” by Robert Frost the word that has the most meaning is bondage. When we think of bondage we think of being restrained against our will. In this poem I don’t think bondage is a negative thing. The main character of the poem “She” is displayed as a loving mother who’s love is compared to bondage. The central cedar pole is basically “she” being the focal point of stability in the family
