What do the two roads symbolize in the first stanza? What is the significance of choosing a road?Īns. The concluding line of the poem - ‘And that has made all the difference’ connotes the poet’s joy. Hence, we can reason that the poet – traveller was happy by choosing the less travelled path, not the beaten track. However, if examined by the way of the world, we find that the individuals who have achieved recognition and fame have always eschewed the beaten track.

The poet believes and we all know that one road leads to another, so going back to the original path is not easy. He doubts if he would ever be able to come back to take that other road which might have given him some other more lucrative options in life. Throughout the poem and the poet’s journey, he faces an archetypal dilemma. Was the poet doubtful or clear that he would return to take the other path which he could not take earlier?Īns. He realizes that his choice will make ‘all the difference’ in his life, but he is presently uncertain about what the difference would turn out to be. He does not anticipate being any less conflicted then or any more satisfied with his choice. The poet believes that at some time far in the future, he would still be thinking of his two possible paths ‘with a sigh’. The overall tone of the poem is of regret. After reading the poem, can you detail the tone in the entire poem?Īns.
