Nature and roads that lead to the future“The Road Not Taken” is part of a series of poems written by Robert Frost. In the poem, the speaker is walking on foot and comes to a crossroads where he must choose between two paths that are right for him to take. As he tries to figure out which path to take, he wishes he could take both paths. The path he chooses is supposed to be less worn out, but in reality both roads are equally worn out. The line, “Two roads diverged in a woods, and I took the one less traveled, and that made all the difference,” speaks to the choices we make in life and how those choices you make can make a difference in the long run. Even if the speaker in the poem wants to take the other path as people do today, it is difficult to start from a decision that someone has already made a decision about. Taking the path a person has already chosen makes it easier and more exciting to take the path a person has chosen. The speaker says that in the near future, when he is older, he will talk about how the path he chose has changed his life in some way. Robert Frost uses roads and nature as a symbolic element of figurative language to help readers visualize things in the poem. The setting takes place in the daylight of the forest. I felt that Frost set the poem in the woods because it helps the reader imagine trees, leaves, and bushes. Therefore readers know that the speaker is alone, with no street signs or direction knowledge of which road to take. The “yellow forest”(1) means it is somewhere in the fall when the leaves change color. The “mystery” brings out a beautiful image of autumn for readers. The “yellow wood” means that there is a continuous decision that is made in li...... middle of paper ...... and it doesn't matter which one we make. The roads we don't take end up being the ones where we wonder whether we chose the right one or not. Choices are the main theme of this poem. The speaker realizes that the choice he is about to make will affect his future. The point of this poem is that the speaker will not know his future until it happens. It is said that nature and roads are very important symbols for the speaker. Help the reader understand why they chose the path they took. The fork in the road represents the speaker's life. The title "The Road Not Taken" means that not every choice you come to will be easy and not every choice will be the right choice, but you have to make them at some point in your life. When it comes to difficult situations like this, it is not always better to take the most traveled one but the best one for them, but choose wisely.
