Answer:
The Road Not Taken
1.Why did the poet look down as far as he could?
Answer.-The poet was unhappy that he could not take that road as he chose the other one and, that is why he looked as far as he could.
2.Explain “grassy and wanted wear”?
Answer. – The road was covered with grass as not many people had walked this road so it was more inviting.
3.As a symbol, what does ‘road’ signify in the poem?
Answer. – As a symbol, ‘road’ signifies opportunities in life and the decisions and choices one has to make in life.
4.Does one road seem to be more appealing than the other? Use examples from the poem to support your answer.
Answer- At first the narrator comes to a fork in the road and is not able to decide which path to take. One of the roads looks more frequented by people while the second road appears to be less travelled on. Though he is tempted to walk on both, he decides to take the second path with the intention of walking on the first one sometime in future.
5.‘The Road Not Taken’ is a metaphor of life. Justify this statement. Justify the title.
Answer- In ‘The Road Not Taken’, Frost uses the fork in the road as a metaphor for the choices we make in life. Thus, the two roads are, in fact, two alternative ways of life. They represent two directions and two options open to the poet. He has made a choice. He has opted for the road which is ‘less travelled by’. He leaves the first ‘for another day’. It becomes impossible to come back on the road one has left. One’s choice makes ‘all the difference’ in one’s life. Hence, the title is appropriate and logical.
6.What does the divergence in the road signify in real life?
Answer- The divergence in the road signifies that many times in real life we have difficult choices to make. We take a long time thinking about which of the two would be a better option and only time can tell whether we were right in making the choice we made. The forking of one road into two is symbolic of the confusion or dilemma we face in life while confronting a problem and making a decision.
7.Why did the poet stand long on the forked road to make the decision?
Answer- The poet took long to make a decision because he could not foresee which choice would prove to be beneficial for hint As he looked at the roads he couldn’t see beyond a particular point. One road was well-trodden and the other showed no signs of anyone treading on it. Thus the poet stood there for a long time undecided which one to experiment with.
8.What impact did the choice of the ‘other road’ make on the poet’s life?
Answer- While making a choice of the roads, the poet took time deciding which one to take. The poet’s choice shaped his life in a different manner. He had a shade of regret about his choke. He knew that his life wouldn’t have been as it was presented if he had taken the other road.
