bring out the underlying theme or significance of the poem the road not taken
Answers
Answer:
In "The Road Not Taken," the meaning of the poem is about a person having to choose between two roads. "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood" and the speaker is torn between which road is the best choice.
It is in the autumn of the speaker's life. He has to choose which road to travel. He analyzes both roads. Then he chooses the one less traveled by and claims that it has made all the difference.
Still, the speaker is analyzing his decision. He chose the road of nonconformity. He is a nonconformist. He traveled alone. The road he took held less distractions. Clearly, the speaker should be happy about the road he took, but he is still thinking about the road he didn't take. The speaker is wondering what the other road would have held for him. In fact, the speaker states that he will be telling this story with a sigh "somewhere ages and ages hence." There seems to be some sadness on the speaker's part about having to choose between the two roads:
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
The speaker is sorry he could not travel both roads. And since "way leads on to way," he doubted he should ever come back and choose the other road. Truly, life is about choices and this is what the roads represent--choices.
In the end, the speaker states that he took the road less traveled by and that has made the difference in his life. Sadly enough, he is telling it with a sigh:
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
