Analysis Of The Different Interpretations Of Robert Frost's
"The Road Not Taken": An Annotated Bibliography
by Yone' E. Amuka

The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could.
To where it bent in the undergrowth,
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost

Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken" depicts an image of a solitary traveler who has come to a fork in the road in his journey and must make a decision on which way to proceed. The much anthologized work has become the subject of numerous arguments. One of the most popular of these quarrels is derived from the very title of the poem. "The Road Not Taken" is most commonly interpreted as an advertisment of individuality, but that definition is dependent on whether or not there is a road not taken in Frost's poem. Many scholars believe that Frost was too ambivalent in his descriptions of the difference between the two roads, and have therefore challenged the existence of a less traveled road. The subtraction of a less traveled road from "The Road Not Taken" produces an equation with an infinite number of interpretations for answers. The interpretations, however, seem to be as diverse and original as the explicators themselves.

Patrick Bassett, contributor to the literary journal The Explicator, believes in the spiritual nature of the poem and contends that it represents spiritual choices of the soul. Mike Bellah, writer for the online magazine, The Best Years, believes that "The Road Not Taken" is Robert Frosts warning against procrastination and the delayment of dreams. Central State University Professor, R.F Fleissner argues that there is no definite interpretation of the poem as it was based on the mannersims of one man-a friend of Robert Frost's. Literary critic, Mordecai Marcus, believes that the poem simply takes a satirical look at the quandry of having to make choices at all. The editors of Thinkquest.org, an online study group, focus on the reflective lines of the poem, and argue that it urges readers, not to forge new roads, but to take pride in the ones they have already chosen. Louis Untermeyer, writer of The Road Not Taken, proposes that "The Road Not Taken" can not truly be about choice because destiny will always guide one to the necessary path.

Bassett, Patrick F. “Frost’s The Road Not Taken”. The Explicator 39, no.3 (1981 Spring): P.41-43.

Patrick Bassett’s interpretation is the most outlandish of them all. Bassett does not believe in a physical speaker or even a physical fork in the road. Bassett believes that the speaker and the fork in the road are spiritual ones, but because Bassett believes that the two roads are equally worn, he contends that there are no real roads for the human soul. Bassett supposes that the existence of two distinct roads implies that all life’s choices are clear-cut and that there are no grays; only blacks and whites. When Basset’s interpretation is closely examined, it seems to bear resemblance to Louis Untermeyer’s perception of the poem. Untermeyer states that the choice has always been dictated by his destiny. Bassett proposes that the soul will go where it wants to, and this random journey of the soul is what most humans perceive as individuality.
