Summary of Poem "The Road Not Taken" :

The poem " The Road Not Taken" composed by American poet , Robert Frost , highlights how the choices made in life may bring a vast difference in our later life .

The poem sets an image in which the poet is stuck between the two roads that diverged in the yellow wood . However , he could not travel both at the same time , so he was left in a dilemma of choosing the correct road . He examined both the roads quite well and after all his examination reached to the conclusion of choosing the second road because it was "grassy and wanted wear" . But in the last part of the poem , the poet seems to regret his choice as he would tell his after generations "with a sigh" how a choice between two equally beautiful roads made a difference between his life .

The two roads in the poem are used as a metaphor for the choices man makes in his life .

Robert Frost is well known for his philosophical outlook on the life with simple use of words and examples . His poems are simple in the start but often end up giving a life changing lesson.

Once the poet was walking down a road and then there was a diversion, there were two different paths and he had to choose one out them. The poet says that as he was one person, he could travel on one road only. He had to choose one out of these two roads. (Yellow wood means a forest with leaves which are wearing out and they have turned yellow in colour – the season of autumn.) Yellow woods represent a world which is full of people, where people have been li.ving for many years. They represent people who are older than the poet. The poet kept standing there and looked at the path very carefully as far as he could see it. Before taking the path, he wanted to know how it was- was it suitable for him or no. He was able to see the path till where it curved after which it was covered with trees and was hidden. It happens in our life also when we have choices, we have alternatives, but we have to choose only one out of them, we take time to think about the pros and cons of each, whether it is suitable for us or not and only then, we take a decision on what path we should choose.

He kept on looking at one path for a long time to check if it was the right path for him or not and then, he decided and started walking on another path because he felt that both the paths were equally good. He says just as fair, so, he felt that both paths were equally good and started walking on one of them. He adds that maybe he felt that the path was better for him so he chose it as it had grass on it which means that it was unused. Not many people had walked on this path earlier that is why this path was grassy. ‘And wanted wear’ means that it was not walked over by many people. After he walked on the path for some distance, he realized that both the paths had been worn out the same way. Both the paths were similar and worn out.  Even in our life, we take any path or option but all of them have the same benefits, disadvantages, problems, challenges and we must face them. We think that we are choosing a better option, but it is not that way.

'trodden' means walked over

The poet says that both the paths were similar that morning. Both had leaves on them and no one had stepped on them as they were still green in colour. He decided that that day he would take one path and keep the other path for another day, although he knew that one way leads on to another way. He knew that he could not go back on the choice that he had made. Similarly, even in our life, once we choose an option, we must keep on moving ahead with that option and we never get a chance to come back and take the other option that we had left earlier.  

He says that in the future, he will take a deep breath and say that once upon a time, he had reached such a point in life that there were two options for him and he travelled on that road which had been travelled by lesser number of people. That decision of his made his future. Similarly, in future, when you grow up, then you will say that once upon a time, when you were young, you had two options. The choice that you made, made you what you became of it. 

This is a very strong message for all the students - that you should be wise and be careful while making choices out of the options that you have in your life because your future depends on the choice that you make today.
