"The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost.
Of the all the poems we read this week I found "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost to be the most insightful. My interpretation of this poem was that humans should not simply take the easy road in life because life is not measured based on success but rather on making an impact on others lives. This poem does a very good job as shedding light on the human condition, indicating that humans alway take the road that is the easiest instead of taking the road that is harder but in the end leads to a fuller life.

Frost did a good job stating his message in this poem. The symbolism that he used was one that the reader could easily understand. We should all be bold enough to take the road less traveled in life.
ReplyDeleteI thought this was the most insightful poem as well. I, too, agree that Humans take the easy route in life. Although this makes for more free time and less stress, the road less traveled could lead to new experiences and greater success in life.
