Critical Reflections on Frost’s The Road Not Taken

Abstract

Robert Frost’sThe Road Not Taken is an eminent poem about the trip of life. It is an ambiguous piece of poetry that might allow critics to ponder about various choices in life deeply. The ambiguity launches from the interrogation of free will against determination, whether the narrator of the poem chooses to take the route that is off trodden track or merely does so since he does not imagine the route with the curve in it. The study aims to probe the depth of some important themes of The Road Not Taken. The paper starts with a concise introduction to the poet Robert Frost then the researcher moves to analytically and critically explore the scope of three important points. They are the choice, the decision, and the individuality, then to close with critical judgment. In this research, the researcher applies the critical-analytical approach
