The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

All the people travel through their lives and they choose the path that would be right for them. Sometimes, all the paths are not easy to take or not easy to decide to go on. There are no easy or straight paths that people can just follow one. Robert Frost had intended his belief in this poem “The Road Not Taken” that the road he chose that makes him the man who he is. There are two kinds of roads. “And sorry I could not travel both” shows that the poet cannot choose both roads to travel. He has to choose one between them.

However, it is difficult to make a decision because it is impossible to think about future and he does not know what he will miss or gain in which path. There is a strong sense of regret before he makes the choice and it is impossible to travel into every path. “And looked down one as far as I could”, the path is u

Then he realizes that this decision is not for while.

All the people have their own personality and they do not like to follow what everyone is following. Once you take a right decision then nothing can make one to turn back and nothing will be undone.

“I kept the first for another day/ yet knowing how way leads on to way, / I doubted if I should ever come back”, it shows that the poet wanted to travel through both paths. “Then took the other, just as fair, and having perhaps the better claim/because it was grassy and wanted wear/ the road less traveled by”, this path has something special and better than other the first path does. However, the speaker regret at the end of the poem. “Somewhere ages and ages hence”, he realizes that he will have to regret for the path he did not take. This poem indicates that narrator who takes a decision in his life. He has to take the right decision because one wrong decision can ruin a person’s life and it might affect on other choices too. It is not for everyone because only few people took this path as their choice.
