Nature and Roads Leading to the Future “The Road Not Taken” is one of a series of poems written by Robert Frost. In the poem, the speaker walks on foot and comes to a fork in the road where he must choose between two paths that suit him. As he tries to figure out which route to take, he wishes he could take both routes. The path he chooses is supposed to be the less worn, but in reality both paths are equally worn. The phrase “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that made all the difference” talks about the choices we make in life and how those choices can make a difference in the life. long term. Even if the speaker of the poem wants to take the other path like people do today, it is difficult to walk away from a decision that someone has already made up their mind about. Taking the route a person has already chosen makes it easier and more exciting to follow the route they have chosen. The speaker states that in the near future, when he is older, he will share how the path he chose changed his life in one way or another. 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 daylight in the woods. I felt that Frost placed the poem in the woods because it helps the reader imagine the trees, leaves, and bushes. Therefore, readers know that the speaker is alone, without any road signs or knowledge of which direction to go. The “yellow wood”(1) means that it is somewhere in autumn when the leaves change color. The “yellow” brings out a beautiful image of fall to readers. The “yellow wood” means that there is an ongoing decision that one makes in the middle of the paper ......e, whatever one one makes. The roads we don't take end up being the ones where we wonder if 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. Nature and roads are considered very important symbols for the speaker. This helps the reader understand why they chose the path they did. The fork in the road represents the speaker's life. The title “The Road Not Taken” means that not all of the choices one faces will be easy and not all of them will be the right choices, but they must be made at some point in life. When it comes to difficult situations like this, it's not always best to take the one that has traveled the most but the one that suits them best, but choose wisely..
