Frost uses a continuous symbol of the two roads throughout the entirety of this poem. These two roads symbolize life, and the choices which we must decide on every day. The way in which life is portrayed in this particular piece is by it containing many choices which we must choose from. Once you decide on a choice, there is no going back to choose the “other path.” The rhyme scheme helps to give this certain poem a kind of sense that the path he chose, gave him the outcome he was looking for. This poem gives you a really good image of a forest. You can just picture the road forking, an

d looking down each path, contemplating the one to choose.

If you just take this poem for what it says, and not look into it. It just seems like a man walking through the woods and coming upon a fork in the road and choosing one of the roads and going on his way wondering what the other one would have brought him. However, if you actually read into the poem and figure out the meaning behind it all, you will see that there is much more behind this poem then what it’s actually saying. This poem is not about a journey through the woods, but yet the journey of life and all the decisions one must face. In the first stanza, Frost is talking about how he comes across two roads, he did not want to split himself to be able to take both, but wanted to remain himself, and choose one. Also, he notices he cannot see the future in that first path he looks down. In the second stanza, he talks about how the second path was “grassy and wanted wear,” but it turns out that both paths have been equally worn, they were both equally traveled. The third stanza, talks about how even though the two paths looked the same, he still went with the second one. Frost says that he will save the other path for another day,
