Everyone is a traveler, choosing the roads

Every unity is a traveler, choosing the roads to follow on the continuous trip of life there exists non a path that leaves whiz with and a sole direction in which to advance. In his meter, The Road non taken, Robert Frost exhibits insight and perception in using poetical techniques to communicate this message. The piece depicts a mans sorrow at non being suitable to travel 2 roads, and having to become a prime(a) among the dickens. The importance of making closes is disclosed in the vote counters assertion that his choice has made all the difference.The starting form hardly a(prenominal) lines of the poem introduce the elements of Frosts primary metaphor and symbol, the divergent roads. The use of the road suggests that life is a trip that the storyteller is traveling. The two roads diverged symbolize the points in this journey where unrivalled must make choices. As the narrator contemplates his decision, wishing that he could take twain paths at the same ep och trance knowing there is no contingency in that, the reader is able to glimpse the strength of Frosts symbolism- every person must make decisions with the knowledge that going O.K. and changing them is impossible, because angiotensin converting enzyme has already traveled too off the beaten track(predicate) squander the chosen path to turn back.The setting, along with exposurery, assists in developing the paint symbols of the poem. The piece opens with the narrator taking a walk in the woodland during the autumn season, when he is suddenly confronted with a diverging path. The central image of two roads diverged helps to convey the theme of having to make choices in life. The sensationalistic wood corresponds to the autumn season, a period that is often related to the dying of the annual cycle in flora and foliage. Autumn may be perceived as a state in limbo betwixt the vivacity of summer and the chill of winter.The speaker examines one path to the best of his tricks yness . . . and looked down one as far as I could to where it flex in the undergrowth. His vision, however, is extra because the path bends, and a certain nub of undergrowth obscure the destination of the road. The description of the paths indicates that although the speaker would like to need more information, he is prevented from doing so because of the record of his environment. The road that forget be chosen take aways to the unknown, as does any choice in life. The concept of two roads diverged in a yellow wood illustrates an interval between two phases in life, and helps convey the theme of one having to inevitably subscribe between digressing paths.The ironic tone is inescapable I shall be corpulent this with a sigh / Somewhere ages and ages hence. The speaker anticipates his own future insincerity. He knows that he will be inaccurate, at best, or hypocritical, at worst, when he holds his life up as an example. In fact, he predicts that his future ego will betray th is moment of decision as if the betrayal were inevitable.This credit is ironic and poignantly pathetic. But the sigh is critical. The speaker will not, in his old age, merely gather the youth around him and say, Do what I did, kiddies. I stuck to my guns, took the road less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. Rather, he may say this, but he will sigh first for he wont believe it himself. Somewhere in the back of his mind will remain the image of yellow woods and two equally silky-leafed paths.Ironic as it is, this is also a poem infused with the anticipation of remorse. Its title is not The Road Less Traveled but The Road not Taken. take down as he makes a choice (a choice he is pressure to make if does not want to stand forever in the woods, one for which he has no real guide or definitive seat for decision-making), the speaker knows that he will sulphur-guess himself somewhere down the lineor at the very least he will wonderment at what is irrevocably lost t he impossible, unknowable Other Path. But the nature of the decision is such that there is no Right Path ripe the chosen path and the other path. What are sighed for ages and ages hence are not so much the wrong decisions as the moments of decision themselvesmoments that, one atop the other, mark the passing of a life. This is the more primal strain of remorse.It is ob exercised that the title of the poem, The Road Not Taken, may be intended to serve as a subtle hint, an insinuation of the narrators dissatisfaction with the decision he made. What or so the one less traveled by? uncomplete of the roads was less traveled than the other. He less traveled both roads because this was the first time the narrator had come upon these paths. Leaves cover the ground, and since the time they had fallen no one had yet to pass by on this road both were worn about the same in leaves that no step had trodden black. Nevertheless, the speaker is unhappy that he took the path that he chose, and ye arns to go back and take The Road Not Taken. Time, however, does not allow second chances.The Road Not Taken is an ironic commentary on the indecorum of choice in a world governed by instincts, unpredictable contingencies, and limited possibilities. It parodies and demurs from the biblical idea that God is the way that can and should be followed and the American idea that nature provides the path to spiritual enlightenment. The title refers doubly to rodomontade for choosing a road less traveled but also to regret for a road of lost possibility and the eliminations and changes produced by choice.The Road Not Taken reminds us of the consequences of the principle of selection in al1 aspects of life, namely that al1 choices in knowledge or in action exclude numerous others and lead to an ironic recognitions of our achievements. At the heart of the poem is the romantic mythology of flight from a fixed world of limited possibility into a wilderness of many possibilities combined with trials and choices through which the pilgrim progresses to divine perfection.The reader finds, at the literal level, the narrator expressing his regret at his human limitations, at not being able to travel two roads he must make a choice. The choice is not easy, since it took him a long time to come to a decision . . . long I stood and looked down one as far as I could. He examines one path to where it bent in the undergrowth, but his vision is limited because the path bends and is covered over. He describes the second path as just as decorous as the first rather than more fair, and that the paths are really about the same.This ambiguous evaluation of the paths reveals his search for a clear and coherent reason to decide on one path over some other only that reason is unavailable. When the narrator finally makes his decision, he tries to persuade himself that he will eventually satisfy the desire to travel both paths, while simultaneously admitting that such a hope is unrealisti cOh, I unploughed the first for another day Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.At the end of the poem, in the future, the narrator will claim that the paths were actually contrary from each other, and that his choice has made all the difference.The last lines of the poem suggest that life would score been different had the speaker taken the other path I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. The fact that the speaker says the full last stanza with a sigh works together with the title to image that the speaker is disappointed with the choice he made. Once the entire poem is read, it may be realized that this is not an inspirational piece about why one should be different from everyone else. Rather, it reminds the reader of the consequences that follow a decision, and the manner in which one choice can shape ones life.In his poem, Robert Frost conveys his notion of life as a journey that every person must travel , a journey laden with diverging roads, many decisions, and occasional sighs the piece demonstrates the poets belief that it is the road that one chooses that makes him or her the person who he or she is. The Road Not Taken leaves its readers with many different interpretations. In any case, however, it is Frosts clever use of poetic techniques to express the theme that opens the door for analysis, and allows all readers from different backgrounds to relate to the poem.
