Iterature comprehension - Essay Example Robert Lee Frost’s The Road Not Taken is a poem about the contemplation of two different possible outcomes of travel down two divergent roads in the woods. When the traveler is first viewing his choices, he notices that the road down the first path is clear to see: “ And be one traveler, long I stood, And looked down one as far as I could, To where it bent in the undergrowth;” The other path, the one our traveler chooses, “Because it was grassy and wanted wear” it turns out may not be as different because “the passing there, Had worn them really about the same”. The contemplation of the two paths, on a literal level, has to do with what the traveler can see and not see on down the road from the vantage point at the beginning of the journey. One path is widely tread and clearly seen. The other one that is unseen, unclear and unknown is the one the traveler chooses. But it is also with this choice that the traveler knows he is ultimately forsaken the other.
