    The Road Not Taken Summary in Short

    The article is all about the Road Not Taken Summary by Robert
    Frost. It explains about the road not taken summary in short. This
    poem signifies a situation where the poet was walking down a road
    that had a diversion. He had to choose between the two paths. Since
    he was a single person, he could choose only one of the two paths.
    The wood was yellow which represents a world full of people who
    have been residing for many years.

    The poet kept standing at that fork and looked at the paths very
    carefully. He looked as far as he could. Before moving forward on
    one path, he wants to understand how it was. Was it suitable for him
    to walk on it or not? He was able to see the path till from where it got
    curved. However, afterward it was covered with trees and thus was
    hidden. He wanted to understand the advantages and disadvantages
    of the paths. The same happens in life too. We have to make
    decisions thinking about its good and bad consequences in the future.

    The poet looked at one path for a long time to decide whether it’s
    good or not for him. Then he takes the alternative path as he feels that
    both paths are equally good. He feels that the path he chose was
    better for him. The path was grassy which depicted that it was walked
    over by fewer people and also, it was ‘wanted wear”.

    It depicted that the path was unused. However, as he walks on the


    path for some distance, he realizes that both the paths were similarly
    worn out. Even in our life, every decision has its own good and bad
    consequences. We might think we are in a better position than the
    others but it is not the reality.

    The poet says that the two paths looked similar that morning. Both
    were having leaves on them.  No one stepped on that and thus they
    were green. He decided to move forward on one path and keep the

    other for another day. Although he knew
    that he would not be able to return back as one path would lead to
    another. This happens in life too. We make a decision and move
    forward in that direction. We think that we would get a chance to
    start over again if we fail. But that does not happen.

    The poet says that sometime in the future, he will take a deep breath
    and tell that once in a lifetime he had to take a tough decision. He
    was standing at a diversion of two roads. Both looked to him equally
    well. Thus, he decides to move forward on the road which fewer
    people took. As a result, it has made him what he is today. That one
    decision shaped his future.

    Similarly, in the future, when we grow up, and then we have to say
    that once upon a time when you were in your youth, you have to take
    tough decisions. The choice made by you had made you what you are
    today. Thus, the article of the poem the road not taken summary
    gives a very strong message to the people.

    It tells us to be careful in making decisions in life. One should be


    very wise and careful while making choices as our choices shape our
    future. Also, once we make a decision, it is very difficult to change
    and start again. One bad decision could make us regret it throughout
    life. All this depends on the choices we make today.
