Analysing and opininons on the poem "The Road not Taken" by Robert Frost

Everyone, throughout the course of their lives come across life altering decisions. Sometimes when faced with these decisions we are unsure of what to choose or what we are choosing between and the choice can be harder than the action itself. We must choose the path we feel is right for us. Our choices must be based on our own instincts. We cannot simply follow others' paths but rather must pave our own. Most importantly once we have finished that vital process of choosing we must remember there may not be a correct path, only the chosen path and the other path.

He knows one choice leads to another and the world moves far too fast for one to look back. Later on, in the final stanza, when he imagines himself...
