A Worn Path

what would have happened if we had taken the other available path. Robert Frost presents this enigma on his poem ‘The Road Not Taken’. He most chose between two paths and he is conflicted about not being able to “travel both.” He looks at one road until it disappears from his sight, yet he decides to travel the other path “because it was grassy and wanted wear” (Frost). However, as he keeps staring at the paths he notices that they seem “worn about the same”(Frost) which means both roads look…

He tries to justify his choice to himself and perhaps his audience that the path he chose was the better option as ‘it made all the difference’. This is contradictory to his above statement that they were worn ‘really about the same’. Frost illustrated and challenged the artifice of the ideology of nonconformity, being the privileged binary opposition by showing that it is so ingrained in society…

contributed to shaping both her role and her effect on other encounters in the story. Phoenix is surprisingly a positive individual. Although she encounters many obstacles that knocks her off of her path to her destination, she remains surprisingly strong and positive. From the dog knocking her off her path, to the roads themselves being dirty and grimy she remains positive in responding to the somewhat dull and uninspiring environment the story depicts. Although she is an inspiring case, I…

The poem focuses on the idea that every choice we make will ultimately lead us to our own created fate. One could attempt to make the claim Frost is speaking to the reader about choosing paths that are less chosen, however, a deeper analysis of the words of the poem will clearly indicate he does not view any path as less traveled. The poem clearly shows that Frost believes that any choice we make in life has been chosen before and will not be judged until much later. The poem starts with a…

trees’ leaves, “yellow wood.” In the first two stanzas, Frost takes the role of the traveler and begins to explain both paths. One path being full of nature and beautiful while the other looking worn down and barren. Frost (the traveler) would like to travel both paths but he is only one person and can only travel the one. “Then took the other, as just as fair,” Frost took the path he saw and explained as “grassy” and in his mind “the better claim.” Even though he has chosen a road he still has…

diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both” illustrates that the ‘two roads’ represent two paths in the orators life. Each of these paths show that the orator has to mature and realize that in life one cannot have everything. These paths are maturity and the other path is childhood. Yet, as a child one has a mindset of wanting everything, but soon one has to realize which path to take. Hurst…

The most obvious indication of this hesitation in the sound of the poem is in the last stanza, where the speaker repeats the word "I." This sounds like the speaker has stopped walking for a moment, and even the birds in the wood have stopped to…

Robert Frost talks about the path that is in front of him, and he is contemplating about which one to take. “TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,” there are two paths ahead of him, but he does not know which one to take because they look identical. He knows if he chooses the wrong path he will regret it for the rest of his life. “And sorry i could not travel both, And be one traveler.”Robert understands how his actions or choices can alter his future. When choosing which path to go Robert goes…
