Question

Name the figure of speech for the following line :

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood ..​

Answer 1

Answer:

Metaphor

Explanation:

Robert Frost uses "the road" as a metaphor for a course not taken in life. In the first line, the narrator recalls his fateful choice: "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood." "Two roads" are a metaphor for two options. The "yellow wood" signifies an autumn light.

Answer 2

Answer:

Imagery, metaphor.

Explanation:

For this particular line, the poet wants the reader to imagine the setting he is describing by using adjectives like "two" or "yellow" which help in creating an image in the reader's head.

This can also be viewed as a metaphor when we take the entire poem in view as the two roads signify the two choices and the yellow woods describe the autumn season and leaves falling.
