Storyboard Tekst

  • "The Road Not Taken," is a poem written by Robert Frost, a British poet during the WWI era, and is arguably the most misunderstood poem in literature. The poem starts by setting the scene in a forest where the narrator is standing at the fork in the road. The first stanza states that the narrator is staring down both of the paths he is standing in front of as far as he can.
  • The narrator examines each path thoroughly. He notices that both paths seem to be the exact same with the same amount of passage on each path. The only difference being one seems grassier than the other.
  • Alas the narrator wasting all the time that he had, he finally decides to go down the path with the grass on it. He does this by proclaiming that he would keep the other path for another day. In our mind, we know that likely this day will never come and the narrator will probably never travel this path again.
  • At this point in the poem, there is a time skip to long into the future. Here, the narrator is older and he states that long ago he came across the split in the road. In the final stanza, he states that the road he picked was the one "less traveled by," and that has made all the difference in the outcome of his life. This is the part most misinterpreted because this poem isn't actually a metaphor for the decisions you make in your life.
  • The actual meaning behind the poem comes from stories from the poet Robert Frost's life. Frost had a friend named Edward Thomas with whom he would take walks in the British countryside to try and see nature. When they came upon a split in the road, Thomas would always spend much time deciding which path to and when he did make a decision, Thomas would be disappointed with the outcome. "The Road Not Taken," was simply a gimic he wrote to his dear friend Edward Thomas
  • Edward Thomas would eventually read this poem written to him by Frost and misinterpret it completely. This poem inspired him to make a change in his life or "take a different road," to maybe change his life. So rather than moving to the Americas to possibly become a great writer, he enlisted in the war efforts and was killed by a shell in France.
