The two paths represent the options man has to choose from. The choices a person makes in life are ultimately responsible for their future, yet at the same time a person can never go back to the past and experience other possibilities. Faced with these decisions, man has to weigh his options carefully to make an optimal choice. .
At the split in the road, the speaker looks far down both the two paths to see what each of the paths will bring. The speaker's sight is limited- his eyes can only see the path until it bends into "the undergrowth." The author shows man's attempts to tell which path is better by trying to foresee what they will behold down the road, this represents curiosity. .
Both roads diverge into a "yellow wood" and appear to be "about the same" in their purpose. The first of the two paths is the more common route than the other less traveled path, which "wanted wear." Frost presents a classic conflict- the decision between the common easy path and the exceptional challenging path, which shows uncertainty.
Choosing the already known easy path in life many people frequently endure reassures that the outcome will be predictable. While choosing the "less traveled" road represents the gamble of facing a more difficult path in life in hopes to achieve an incomparable and satisfactory life, contrasting the more familiar lives other people take.
