One of the most significant elements of this poem is Frost’s use of imagery. The poem is written in the first person and uses the pronoun “I” to personalize its meaning as a tool to have idea that the reader has direct access to the poet’s thoughts and feelings. The speaker is speaking further on a feature of human nature. And I believe the tone of sadness is appropriate for such a poem, as seen by some of the poet’s phrases and sentences, such as ‘And sorry I could not travel both,’ ‘I doubted whether I should ever come back,’ ‘I shall be telling this with a sigh,’ and so on. The poet sighs and speaks in a sad tone about a period in his life. Toward the conclusion, the tone shifts dramatically from undecided to regretful. We discover that this is a life-altering decision, not merely a choice between two mediocre options. We discover throughout the poem that there are two roads to follow, but the traveler, who we assume is Robert Frost, is unsure which one to take.
The poem shows the readers that there are millions of decisions that we must take in life and sometimes there are choices that are best left to chance and to realize and that sometimes regret is inevitable.“Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim” is a quote in which we can tell that he has given this decision a lot of thought. Robert Frost portrays a very pensive and impactful tone in his poem The Road Not Taken through means of symbolic imagery, representative setting, thorough characterization, and powerful diction, in order to encourage the reader to reflect upon his or her own life choices. The use of such devices again aid to the connection between the reader and the character-forcing Frost’s message to become even more insightful. Frost strengthens the reader’s figurative presence in the poem by presenting such emblematic diction and setting. This characterization helps to bridge the gap between the reader and the character, allowing the poem to communicate a deeper resonance. Later in the poem, the author reveals the attributes and personality of the main character as he or she contemplates past life choices. Frost establishes this theme with an allegorical illustration of two paths in the woods. The poem describes the dilemmas and choices one must make in life, and how those specific decisions affect that person. Robert Frost’s work The Road Not Taken conveys a very simplistic, yet introspective theme.
