It is possible that he may repent for making such a choice. He, himself couldn’t reach any such conclusion. It is not easy to say whether the poet made the right choice or not. One should behave responsibly because life does not offer multiple chances every now and then. The poet wishes to say that choices should be made carefully and thoughtfully. The message of the poem is to make people aware of their analytical skills. Avoiding the popular rat race, he opted for the option that broke fresh grounds. The poet didn’t seem to be interested in choosing a much-trodden path of life. He wanted to do those activities which had not been done by anyone earlier. The poet chose that road because it was less travelled. But he exercised his option after much contemplation. After all, it was not quite easy to make the right choice. He did not take this decision haphazardly. He took this decision after a lot of contemplation. No, he speculated and brooded over the situation. The choice decides the outcome in life.ĭid the poet take his decision haphazardly? Out of the available options, they have to choose the one that may take them to their destination. They find themselves in such situations at every step of their lives. Human beings suffer because of their choices and decisions. The roads represent the problem of decision-making. He wanted to choose the one that would take him to his intended destination. It was difficult to decide which road would be more convenient and comfortable. They were equally travelled and there was no difference between them. The poet opined that both the roads were the same. What was the poet’s opinion about both the roads? Out the two options, he had to choose the one. He had to decide which one would lead him to success. The poet was standing before the two roads. In some instances, one needs to be confident about the choice he/she makes. One must not feel nervous and get dejected in trying circumstances. The philosophy of ‘is’ is the key to attaining success. One should live in the present and not in the past. Students can write their own experiences.Īfter you have made a choice do you always think about what might have been or do you accept the reality? We must ruminate over the disadvantages also. But the decision should be taken after considering all the ins and outs of the situation.
In today’s world, people have numerous alternatives. Such situations occur in everyone’s life. Have you ever had to make a difficult choice (or do you think you will have difficult choices to make)? How will you make the choice (for what reasons)?
He now repents for not getting a chance to travel on the first road. The decision taken may mar one’s future or lead one to success. The poet intends to walk on the first road but he couldn’t do so because life does not offer multiple chances to choose. The poet expresses his opinion that it becomes difficult for a normal human being to change his/her decision.
The last two lines have the quintessence of the poem. What do you think the last two lines of the poem mean? (Looking back, does the poet regret his choice or accept it?) In the last two lines of the poem, the poet tells that the road he opted for is less travelled.There is no difference between the two roads in stanzas two and three.Is there any difference between the two roads as the poet describes them?
