Question

can some one answer following extract from the road not taken by -Robert Frost

‘And looked down one as far as I could’

a. What does ‘one’ refer to ?

b. Why does the poet look down ?

c. Did it help ?

d. Which quality does the poet suggest one should possess before taking any decision ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A)Both paths

B)The speaker really wants to go down both paths – he's thinking hard about his choice. He's staring down one road, trying to see where it goes. But he can only see up to the first bend, where the undergrowth, the small plants and greenery of the woods, blocks his view.

C)No

D)This is where we start to think about the metaphorical meanings of this poem. If our speaker is, as we suspect, at a fork in the road of his life, and not at an actual road, he could be trying to peer into his future as far as he can. But, since he can't really predict the future, he can only see part of the path.
