The road not taken

Cards (4)

  • 'Two roads diverged in a wood' - the speaker comes across two paths that have been created by nature
  • 'And sorry I could not travel both' - the speaker wishes to take both paths but cannot as they are separate from one another
  • The theme of personal decisions and a risk that comes with it is explored in the road not taken. the poem acknowledged the possibility of regret in making decision it also conveyed a sense of hope in the notion that each choice opens up new possibilities. The line “ I took the one less travelled by and that has made all the difference“. I think this conveys that being unique and not reflecting the majority leads to opportunities and that we shouldn’t be frightened to be different and that Being distinctive does not always result in failure.
  • This offers hope to readers who have an idea that isn’t common and want to establish it but are afraid of failing.
