Summary of Robert Frost poem titled ''The Road Not Taken''

 

            Generally speaking, Robert Frost’s The Road Not Taken which is, in a broad sense, about philosophy in life, in general, and making decisions either when someone moves through fastidious moments, nor through normal moments or situations, in particular. That is, Robert creates and depicts through his poem a stiuation which we all can move through ; As a justification, we could experience this before or we would move through the same condition in the future. As Robert succinctly highlighted it in his poem’’ Two Roads diverged in a yellow wood ‘’ ; The attempt here is the road, the road is a symbol of life. We, as social beings, as individuals, as people who make decisions, need to choose what we choose, and it is simultaneously an attempt to take and to grasp the thing which will make our lives trust-worthy and dependable. In this regard, at first ; especially in the first stanza, the writer chose the first road which bent in the under-growth but, in the second stanza, he took the other road and  ; at the very moment, he starts looking at that road with trust-worthy and feels another feeling. Add to this, he felt that the two road look- alike and share the same characteristics and share the same picturesque, but this road which the writer chose was grassy and wanted wear. To bring it to the very end of the poem, ‘’ I shall be telling this with a sigh’’, presumably, the writer looks like if he does not show that road as good or as interested in traveling it again. Consequently, the attempt here is to understand deeply and wisely what is good for us even if we did not get what we want, but this will help us to en-hence and to develop our personalities, our abilities, our attitudes and our perspectives in life in order to congruence and to lead our experinces in life to be compensated.
