Written in 1916, the poem is set in a forest where the speaker finds himself at a fork in the road and must choose between two paths. The poem speaks to the idea of taking risks and forging your own path in life, and the overall message is that it is better to make your own decisions and be true to yourself, even though it might be hard. Through the use of metaphor and symbolism, Frost&#039;s poem is a timeless reminder of the importance of making conscious decisions and taking responsibility for our choices. <span id="infos-more" class="collapse"></span>&nbsp;<a class="infos-more-link" data-toggle="collapse" href="#infos-more" role="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="infos-more">more &raquo;</a></p> </div> <div id="content-filters" class="clearfix"><span><span class="sort fsize"><strong>Font size:</strong><span class="rc3 s" data-size="xs" title="Normal size"><small><i class="far fa-font" aria-hidden="true"></i></small></span><span class="rc3" data-size="lg" title="Large size"><span class="fsl"><i class="far fa-font" aria-hidden="true"></i></span></span></span></span></div> <div class="clearfix poem-credits"> <div class="text-right" style="position:relative;float:right;top:-3px;right:-3px"> <a href="collection.php?add=30928" class="add-to-list s rc3" title="click to add The Road Not Taken to your collection"><i class="fa-leaf fas" aria-hidden="true"></i> Collection</a>&nbsp; <a href="/create-your-mug/30928" class="add-to-list s rc3" title="Get the mug!"><i class="fas fa-mug"></i></a>&nbsp; <a href="signup.php" class="add-to-list s rc3" title="click to edit The Road Not Taken"><i class="fa-pencil-alt fas" aria-hidden="true"></i> Edit</a>&nbsp; <a href="/poem-pdf/30928" class="add-to-list s rc3" title="click to down the The Road Not Taken poem as PDF"><i class="far fa-file-pdf"></i></a>&nbsp; <a target="_blank" href="email.php?id=30928&type=poem" class="add-to-list s rc3" title="click to email The Road Not Taken to a friend"><i class="fas fa-paper-plane"></i></a>&nbsp; <a target="_blank" href="print.php?id=30928" class="add-to-list s rc3" title="click to send The Road Not Taken to your printer"><i class="fa-print fas" aria-hidden="true"></i></a>&nbsp; </div> <div class="visible-xs" style="margin-top:13px;">&nbsp;</div> <p>Modified by <a href="/user/2" title="acronimous"><b>acronimous</b></a> on September 17, 2024</p> <div class="poem-details"> <input id="poem-data" type="hidden" data-id="30928" data-type="poem"> <input type="hidden" id="incr" value="1"> <dl> <dt><i class="far fa-clock" aria-hidden="true"></i></dt> <dd>47 sec&nbsp;read</dd> <dt><i class="far fa-eye" aria-hidden="true"></i></dt> <dd>885,216&nbsp;Views</dd> </dl> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="disp-quote-author-meta"> <div id="disp-quote-author" class="author-thumb-ext" data-author="Robert Frost" data-img="1"> <img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b5/Robert_Frost_NYWTS.jpg/230px-Robert_Frost_NYWTS.jpg" class="author-thumb" alt="" loading="lazy" width="120"> </div> <p class="author"><a href="/poet/Robert+Frost">Robert Frost</a></p> <div class="countries-area small"><div><a href="/poets-by-country/United States"><span class="f32 flag-area rc4"><span class="flag no-margin us" title="United States"></span></span></a>&nbsp;·&nbsp;<b><a href="/poets-by-birth-year/1874">1874</a></b>&nbsp;·&nbsp;<a href="/poets-by-birthplace/San Francisco, California">San Francisco, California</a></div><span class='hidden-xs'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ndash;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><div><a href="/poets-by-country/United States"><span class="f32 flag-area rc4"><span class="flag no-margin us" title="United States"></span></span></a>&nbsp;·&nbsp;<b><a href="/poets-by-birth-year/1963">1963</a></b>&nbsp;·&nbsp;<a href="/poets-by-birthplace/Boston">Boston</a></div></div> <p class="author-bio">Robert Lee Frost was an American poet.

In the second stanza of the poem Frost acutally tells us that the paths are just the same. He says that he &quot;took the other, as just as fair&quot;, in other words he choose the other path in the woods, but the one he didn&#039;t choose was &quot;just as fair&quot;, or just as beautiful or good. And then at the end of the stanza he says that the walking upon them has &quot;worn them really about the same&quot;. He makes it clear that the paths are practically identical, but in the last stanza of the poem he says that he will later tell people that &quot;I took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference&quot;. This is in fact a lie, but it&#039;s a lie of deception to himself, first and foremost, as the phrase &quot;that has made all the difference&quot; shows us that he wants to seem to himself--and yes in the eyes of others as well--to have made a brave, courageous choice in life that most others would be unable to make. And of course we all do this to some extent, where we tell the stories of our lives, to others and even to ourselves, in slightly positively exaggerated ways to make ourselves, and perhaps life itself, a little more interesting, a little more exciting, a little more meaningful. Frost understood human nature intensely, which of course is what made him such a powerful poet, and here as in so many of his poems he uses the simple device of a quiet walk in the woods to mirror our deepest urges and motivations back to ourselves.</span>&nbsp;<a class="cmt-more-link" data-toggle="collapse" href="#cmt-more-162290" role="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="cmt-more-162290">more &raquo;</a></div></div><div class="cmt-actions"><span><span class="cmt-like">Like</span></span><span><span class="cmt-reply" title="Reply">Reply</span></span><span><span title="Report as spam" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#cmt-report-modal" class="cmt-report small"><i class="fa-flag fas"></i></span></span><span class="cmt-likes" data-count="1"><i class="fas fa-thumbs-up"></i> 1</span><span class="cmt-added">6 months ago</span></div></div></div></li><li class="cmt-hidden"><div id="comment-161916" class="comment clearfix" data-id="161916" data-ts="1727017184"><div class="col-xs-2 col-sm-1 no-padding"><div class="cmt-avatar"><a href="/user/391633/apehoward1995" target="_blank" title="apehoward1995"><img src="https://static.stands4.com/images/user/391633" title="apehoward1995" alt="apehoward1995" loading="lazy" /></a></div></div><div class="col-xs-10 col-sm-11"><div class="cmt-user"><a href="/user/391633/apehoward1995" target="_blank" title="apehoward1995">apehoward1995</a></div><div class="cmt-comment"><div class="cmt-message">The path less taken is always full of mystery and new adventure.

First, it is written in tetrameters, and the foot is the iambic one. The rhyme-scheme is 1, 2, 1, 1, 2.<br>About what the poem tells one could say that Frost is very tricky here. This poem is more than making the right decisions in life. The speaker sees two roads and takes the one less traveled by. Why is it less traveled? The poem does not say. Only that the speaker takes it for he thinks it wants wear. And he laments he cannot travel both. Thus he takes the more appealing, to him, road and he says that made all the difference.<br><span id="cmt-more-118802" class="collapse cmt-collapse">There is much hidden meaning in these verses And it is a mistake to think that this poem is only about making the right choices in life or having the smart to make the right choices in life.
