Hello guys this is Tanay Rathi here....
Today I am here with a wonderful english poem written by the great poet Robert Frost.
The road not taken.
It's a wonderful life poetry which is taught in school also. This poem is about making choices in life every here and there every day we need to make different choices in our life.and similarly while making a career or another relationship decision or any other thing what decides the future is our choices
In this poem the poet explains that he too had two paths choose in life he had chosen the path Less.explored..... less travelled..... And less experience by people he says it was a risk to choose a less travelled path but it has only led him to his success!!
History:-
___________________________________
Frost spent the years 1912 to 1915 in England, where among his acquaintances was the writer Edward Thomas. Thomas and Frost became close friends and took many walks together. After Frost returned to New Hampshire in 1915, he sent Thomas an advance copy of "The Road Not Taken". Thomas took the poem seriously and personally, and it may have been significant in Thomas' decision to enlist in World War I. Thomas was killed two years later in the Battle of Arras
Analysis:-
_______________________________________________
"The Road Not Taken" is a narrative poem. It reads naturally or conversationally, and begins as a kind of photographic depiction of a quiet moment in a woods. It consists of four stanzas of 5 lines each. The first line rhymes with the third and fourth, and the second line rhymes with the fifth (a b a a b). The meter is basically iambic tetrameter, with each line having four two-syllable feet. Though in almost every line, in different positions, an iamb is replaced with an anapest. The variation of the rhythm gives naturalness, a feeling of thought occurring spontaneously, and it also affects the reader's sense of expectation.In the only line that contains strictly iambs, the more regular rhythm supports the idea of a turning towards an acceptance of a kind of reality: "Though as for that the passing there … " In the final line, the way the rhyme and rhythm work together is significantly different, and catches the reader off guard.
It is one of Frost's most popular works. Some have said that it is one of his most misunderstood poems, claiming that it is not simply a poem that champions the idea of "following your own path", but that the poem, they suggest, expresses some irony regarding that idea.
