the Road Not Taken

In Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken," there is no stable evidence that the speaker indeed chose "The Road Not Taken." Throughout the poem, the traveler himself is unable to identify with confidence which road was least taken. It is acknowledged that the two roads are almost the same. Yet the end of the poem contradicts the point that the roads were identical. In the future, he decides that the roads were in fact different. …

…appear as though the choices the speaker has made in his lifetime were unconventional, but throughout the poem the two choices were closely linked. The description provided of the paths included nothing but incertainty. The traveler could not strongly prove without question that one road was different from the other or that he chose "The Road Not Taken." It can be concluded that the speaker has major difficulties in weighing options and making uneasy choices.
