In "Mending Wall," Frost's description of every detail leaves the readers to decide for themselves on which stances toward the act of mending the wall or, precisely, how they think of the significance of the fence or the wall.  The saying that "good fences make good neighbors," coming out from the speaker's neighbor, more often than not may indicate the ideological thoughts of the time even though the speaker doesn't explicitly confirm his argument against the ideological thoughts but he draws the readers' attention with some questions and his statement of negative tone about the hunters' work of mending the fence.  For instance, "Something there is that doesn't love a wall" and "There where it is we do not need the wall: / He is all pine and I am apple orchard. / My apple tree will never get across / And eat the cones under the pine."  Also, the speaker's questions give the readers a chance to make a judgment about the significance behind the proverb that "good fences make good neighbors," instead of merely keep strong faith in what all people believe to say.  "Why do they make good neighbors…But here there are no cows" is the speaker's question that challenges the neighbor's ideological thoughts and also the readers' thinking.  Meanwhile, the wall becomes a conflicting motif that building the fence makes the speaker think that it is an act of offence; "Before I built a wall I'd ask to know…And to whom I was like to give offence."  Therefore, the purpose of Frost's "Mending Wall" throws a conflicting question about how readers can think on different angles about the ideological value.
