The Road Not Taken

  1. The speaker regrets not being able to take both paths. He takes the path less traveled, which could be the more dangerous path or the more adventurous path. The two paths symbolize a big decision in life. The speaker doesn't regret taking the path less traveled because he is able to make his own path.
  2. All actions have consequences. By choosing the path less traveled, the speaker decides that he is not going to follow in the footsteps of others and is going to make his own choices. He is writing his own history, not copying the history of others.
  3. The Road Not Taken is about making life decisions and not letting other people's choices and actions dictate what you think is right for you. Don't take the well traveled path just because it is easier, take it because it is appropriate for your life. Or, take the less traveled path and make your own history. Don't let what other people did stand in your way of making the decision that is right for you.

  1. The road not taken is about life choices - but which life choices?
