The Road Not Taken-Robert Frost.
The poem talks about a traveler who is hiking in the woods and comes to a fork in the road; deciding which path he/she should take they weigh their options of each trail. Upon coming to a conclusion the traveler takes the road less traveled by. This symbolizes that everywhere in life you are going to have to make decisions and it is not until you experience them that you will know if those decisions were worthwhile or meaningful.
Speaker: traveler walking down the path.
Auditor: you, whoever reads the play.
Circumstances of the poem: A traveler comes to a fork in the road and weighs out his options of which path he wants to walk down. This symbolizes everyday choices or decisions we make in our own lives.
Figurative language: personification ”Because it was grassy and wanted wear.” People know a road can’t have human characteristics and doesn’t think, therefore, meaning it can’t want. Its significance is it is weighing out the travelers options of which road to take. Eventually, leading to his final decision of which path to travel. This symbolizes major choices we have to make in our lives.
