The Road Not Taken
 
By Robert Frost
 
THEME: ‘The Road Not Taken’ deals with the dilemma that man faces in life. There are many alternatives. Man being an individual cannot take up all the choices. The impact our choices will make on our lives can’t be foreseen too. Thus, our choices or decisions mark our future. If the decision is incorrect, we have to face the consequences for life as the steps once taken can’t be retraced. MESSAGE: Robert frost’s poem, ‘The Road Not Taken’ throws light on the fact that life is a continuous journey full of divergence every now and then. The important thing is to move on without
turning back whether the choice made was right or wrong. We cannot get everything in life and have to make choices. The right or wrong are relative terms. We cannot come back to travel the ‘roads’ not taken earlier, in this journey of life. Whatever direction our life takes is determined by the choices made by us. We must strive to make our choice a success.
 
TITLE: ‘The Road’ is the symbol of the choice made by us in life. We at times, regret the choice made but what is done once cannot be undone. Man longs for what he has denied himself in life, rather than focusing on what he has chosen. Hence, the poet has given the title, ‘The Road Not Taken.’
 
POETIC DEVICES:
 
Symbolism –The two roads described by the poet are the symbols of challenges and choices that life has to offer. The beaten-track symbolizes the easier path and the less travelled road, the more challenging path. The choice made by the poet, in taking the difficult road symbolizes man’s urge to
live life boldly.

And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;’

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I …
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference’

b) What does the poet mean by ‘I took the one less travelled by’?
 
c) What “difference” has been made by his choice?

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.’
