Question

What is the figurative meaning of the roads diverging in Robert Frost"s poem
"The Road not Taken"?

Answer 1

Basically, I think it's referring to the choices we make in life. Sometimes we're faced with two distinct directions to choose from, and we can choose only one. But now speculate: What would have happened if you had made a different choice at some point?

Answer 2

Do you think Frost is speculating his choice in the 4th stanza? Does he sigh because he was happy with his decision to take the road less traveled?

Answer 3

That's for each of us to interpret for ourselves. One thing about Frost's work (as with all good poetry) is that each reader's interpretation is quite individual.

Answer 4

Thank you
