Question

Explain – ‘I doubt if should come back’

✓

Answer

Robert Frost has in his poem 'The Road not taken' shown us that human beings have to make a choice in crucial moments of their lives.
The title is obviously intended to have a symbolic meaning.
The poet said that he came across two paths in his life and he knew that he had to take one as he couldn't have taken both the roads together.
He had to make a choice.
Midway he found that each road led to the other so he thought that he would keep the first which he had not chosen to be taken for another time.
However, he doubted if that chance would ever come.
He knew that he would continue on the road less travelled only.
