     The Road Not Taken Summary is a poem that describes the
    dilemma of a person standing at a road with diversion. This
    diversion symbolizes real-life situations. Sometimes, in life
    too there come times when we have to take tough
    decisions. We could not decide what is right or wrong for
    us.
    Driven by our hopes and ambitions, we take a decision
    taken by fewer people. We think that if fail to seek
    accomplishments we could get a chance to change and start
    again. However, we travel too far and have to regret at the
    end. Also, it is possible that we could become an
    extraordinary person because of that one decision. Thus,
    the road not taken summary focuses on making wise
    decisions in life.
    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.
     Ittells 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.
