How does Robert Frost's use of a first-person speaker in "Mending Wall" help develop the poem's central idea? A The fact that readers are only provided with the speaker's feelings and perspective helps to stress the idea that he and his neighbor do not see things the same way.
B The fact that readers must guess at what the neighbor wants to do with the wall helps reinforce the idea that both men think rebuilding the wall is pointless.
C Since readers can understand the speaker's inner thoughts and feelings, Frost can show how much the speaker resents his neighbor for wrecking their shared wall.
D Since readers know the speaker's emotions, Frost can stress the idea that those who choose to live in isolated areas often develop strange beliefs and customs.
