I. Introduction http://www.paper51.com A. The Background of this Poem copyright paper51.com “The Road NotTaken” was written by the famous American poet Robert Frost in the 20thcentury. This poem impresses readers with its simplicity in language andprofundity in significance. One reason of its popularity is that it evokes similarmemories in readers and makes them reflect deeply on their life. In this poemFrost recalls one of his walks in wood. He sees two roads in front of him, and hemust choose one and leaves out the other. He feels sorry because he can not choosetwo roads at the same time. After considering a while and looking down one asfar as he could，he makes hisdecision. This is the content of the poem. But its deep meaning rests with thewriter’s thoughts on the necessity of choice and the complete difference such achoice will bring. In fact, Frost states a broader moral than the meaning of apath in this poem. The path in the poem has become a symbol for choice. Readersmay encounter similar situations and they will have to make their own choicesin their life. In our life, we always face many roads. When we must makedecision, we must consider a lot. In some degree nobody can judge which one isthe right and which is the wrong one. The problem is that, once we make achoice, and take a road, we cannot come back. When we recall our choice aftermany years, we will know that everything began to change the moment we took theroad. http://www.paper51.com B.
