One of Frost's commonest subjects is the choice the poet is faced with
             two roads, two ideas, two possibilities of action. "The Road Not Taken"
             deals with the choice between two roads, and with the results of the choice
             which the poet makes. It raises the evident question of whether it is better to
             choose a road in which many travel, or to choose the road less traveled and
             explore it yourself. In "The Road Not Taken," the speakers' tone and setting
             help illustrate the struggle a person goes through in their lives to pick the right

             poet's part, a feeling, perhaps, that he has been cheated and misunderstood
             because he took an unpopular path. To support this tone, one might point to

             to change. It becomes a little more confident, not much, but definitely less
             confused and scared than he was earlier. The first glimpse of this change in
             tone is in the eighth verse where he says, "because is [the second road] was
             grassy and wanted wear." It also shows that the speaker may not want to be
             like everybody else, a follower, but instead, chose a different road and be
             himself, a leader. This verse also says that the road wanted wear, like he was
             drawn to the path, not just out of his own desire to be different, but maybe out
             of some pity. That pity being that the road is traveled less not because it is
             not appealing, bu...
