THE ROAD NOT TAKEN ANALYSIS
In the first stanza the poet has been walking in the woods and has approached a fork in the road. The poet looks down one of the road, as far as he could see, to where the road ‘bent in the undergrowth’. After looking down the first road “to where it bent in the undergrowth” the poet starts checking out the second road and decides to take it. The poet observes that the second road seemed to have less traffic than the first. The poet then reconsiders his decision because the two roads were “worn really about the same.”The poet continues his description of the two roads in the third stanza. The poet notices that the leaves have fallen fresh on both of the roads. The poet expresses his longing to walk on the first road sometime later on but doubts it because he knows that way leads onto way. In stanza four, the poet tells that later on how he would be saying he decided to take the road less travelled by and how that “made all the difference. “
