man’s world is to entertain certain death. A flower cannot survive the world of the winter breeze. Theory Robert Frost’s poem, “Wind and Window Flower”, can be better examined using the theory of the Anima and Animus, developed and expounded on by Swiss theoretical psychologist, Carl Jung. Jung believed that the Anima is the unconscious feminine part of men and that the Animus is the unconscious masculine part of women. He also believed that the concept of love at first sight occurs when we see our own Anima or Animus in the other person. This theory can readily be applied to Frost’s poem. It is apparent that the flower (or woman) is not well acquainted with the winter breeze (or man) in Frost’s poem, yet there is an immediate attraction between the two characters. This is made obvious when Frost writes he marked her through the pane… perchance he half prevailed to win her for the flight. Regardless of their differences, in that their differences reside in the fundamental nature of each of their respective existences, as a flower and as a winter breeze, there is an immediate desire or love for each other. According to Jung this happens when people disregard their personal Anima or Animus, thereby encouraging the Anima or Animus to project itself onto other people. The winter breeze must have recognized his Animus in the flower, while the flower must have recognized her Anima in the winter breeze. Such relationships are seldom long-lasting, simply because they lack sincerity. The winter breeze and the flower do not truly love each other, but rather what they see of themselves in each other. Essentially, the person that they love is themselves.
