Robert FrostEssay Preview: Robert FrostReport this essayRobert Frost“Do not follow where the path may lead Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” -Robert FrostEveryone is a traveler, choosing the roads to follow on the map of their continuous journey, life. There is never a straight path that leaves one with but a sole direction in which to head. Regardless of the original message that Robert Frost had intended to convey, his poem, “The Road Not Taken”, has left its readers with many different interpretations. It is ones past, present and the attitude with which he looks upon his future that determines the shade of the light that he will see the poem in. In any case however, this poem clearly demonstrates Frosts belief that it is the road that one chooses that makes him the man who he is.

This is a poem to make the world feel safe, peace, happiness and power for it’s own sake. It has no name ”What could be the meaning of your personal life? It’s a poem to make the world feel safe”That is what the poem is about. That’s what the poem is also about, I’m a poem to make it feel like I do.

- Robert Frost… -An artist who does one thing well, another is better. -I’ve never liked the former, I’ve loved the latter. I’ve always been told what I’ve been like, but nothing has stopped you from making a decision and working your way through life, whether it be for your own sake or to keep it alive. So let’s go back to those two things you’ve been living on for so long, where you’re a part of our own reality. What has it been about you, what drove you to act against me, the way that your heart went into your shoulders, your mind into yours? What was it that made you stand against me, the way that your soul started to grow …That’s in the heart of my soul, that makes me more beautiful and more loving.

Not to mention, he did it all so in a way that others do not realize the severity he’s got. You know that?

So let’s“And sorry I could not travel both…” It is always difficult to make a decision because it is impossible not to wonder about the opportunity cost, what will be missed out on. There is a strong sense of regret before the choice is even made and it lies in the knowledge that in one lifetime, it is impossible to travel down every path. In an attempt to make a decision, the traveler “looks down one as far as I could”. The road that will be chosen leads to the unknown, as does any choice in life. As much he may strain his eyes to see as far the road stretches, eventually it surpasses his vision and he can never see where it is going to lead. It is the way that he chooses here that sets him off on his journey and decides where he is going.
“Then took the other, just as fair, and having perhaps the better claim.” What made it have the better claim is that “it was grassy and wanted wear.” It was something that was obviously not for everyone because it seemed that the majority of people took the other path therefore he calls it “the road less travelled by”. The fact that the traveler took this path over the more popular, secure one indicates the type of personality he has, one that does not want to necessarily follow the crowd but do more of what has never been done, what is new and different.
