Textual Question Answer
[I] 1. Where does the traveller find himself? What problem does he face?
Ans: The traveller finds himself facing a fork in the path while walking through a forest.
He faces the problem of which of the two paths to choose to carry on his journey.
2. Discuss what these phrases mean to you.
(i) a yellow wood.
Ans: A yellow wood: a forest that has turned yellow due to the advent of autumn.
(ii) it was grassy and wanted to wear.
Ans: It was grassy and wanted wear: it was covered with grass and no one had walked over it.
(iii) the passing there.
Ans: The passing there: the number of people that had walked over the path.
(iv) leaves no step had trodden black.
Ans: Leaves no step had trodden black: leaves that no one had stepped upon (as they discolour when trod upon).
(v) how way leads on to way.
Ans: How way leads on to way: how one road often leads to another.
3. Is there any difference between the two roads as the poet describes them
(i) In stanzas two and three?
(ii) in the last two lines of the poem?
Ans: In stanzas two and three, the poet says that both roads were almost equally inviting. Both, he says, seemed to have been used equally, and that morning the leaves on both paths lay untrodden. However, in the last two lines of the poem, the poet claims that the path he chose had been less travelled.
4. What do you think the last two lines of the poem mean? (Looking back, does the poet regret his choice or accept it?
Ans: As he looks back, I think the poet accepts the choice he made and adds colour to it by claiming that he took the path that was less travelled and for this reason, he had found success, though he himself earlier says that both paths were “just as fair” and “the passing there had worn them really about the same.”
[II] 1. Have you ever had to make a difficult choice (or do you think you will have difficult choices to make)? How will you make the choice (for what reasons)?
Ans: Yes, all of us at some stage in our lives have had to make difficult choices.
When faced with such a choice, I would evaluate the pros and cons of each choice and maybe talk to someone who has made the same choice or gone through something similar. Sometimes there is no chance of turning back after making a choice and so I would decide properly after evaluating all the pros and cons of my decisions and not choose just on a whim. In this way, I hope to avoid blindly going down one path and realising I have made a mistake when it is too late.
2. After you have made a choice do you always think about what might have been, or do you accept the reality?
Ans: It is human nature to think about what might have been. But I try my utmost not to dwell on the past, and instead to focus more on the future. I try to make the best of what I have and accept the reality.
Additional Question Answer
1. And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
(i) “looked down one”-what is the poet referring to?
Ans: The poet is referring to one of the two paths that he has come across in the forest, and is held up being unable to decide which to take.
(ii) Explain the literal and metaphorical meanings of the given two lines.
Ans: Literally the poet is looking down one path, trying to see where it led to, but his view is obstructed by a bend in the road, where small plants and shrubs blocked his view.
Metaphorically the poet could be referring to that situation in life when we are faced with two or more options and have to pick one. We try to look into the future as to what can be the result of each option, but obviously cannot see that far ahead and have to make one choice.
2. The poet contradicts himself in the second para. What does he seem confused about.
Ans: As the poet compares the two paths so as to be able to decide which one to follow, he first looks at one and then says of the other that it appeared to be more inviting since it was grassy and wanted wear”. However in the very next instant he claims that both the 5 roads were almost equal in the matter of “wear” as the passing there had worn them really about the same”. Thus he seems confused if the roads do appear different or are actually quite similar.
3. In which line in the third stanza does the poet admit that both the roads were similar?
Ans: In the first line of the third stanza the poet says, “And both that morning equally lay,” thus admitting the similarity in both roads.
4. What is the theme of the poem “The road not taken”?
Ans: The theme of the poem “The road not taken” is about, making a choice when confronted with two apparently equal options. It talks about our inability to foresee where each will take us, and regrets that we will never know what would have happened if we had opted for the second choice. It is also about accepting the choice one makes and looking back upon it as being responsible for one’s success in life.
5. Which road did the poet choose and why?
Ans: The poet chose the second road because he had to make a choice as he couldn’t stand in the woods forever. He admits that both the paths were similar and thus he chose one road, hoping he would be able to walk the other sometime later.
In reference to the context
1. Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same.
(a) What does the poet mean by bypassing?
Ans: By passing the poet means the traffic of people on the paths.
(b) In these lines does the poet say the two paths are different?
Ans: In these lines, the poet says that both paths have been equally worn by the people passing along them, hence they are the same.
2. Two roads diverged in a wood, and I ―
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.
(a) Where is the poet when he says these lines?
Ans: The poet is imagining himself to be speaking these lines far in the future after many years have passed and he is narrating the happenings of this day to an audience.
(b) “I took the one less travelled by” Is this claim true? support your answer.
Ans: No the claim is not true, because the poet himself admits in the second and third stanzas that the two paths were actually quite similar with regard to how much each had been trod.
(c) What does the poet mean by claiming that has made a difference?
Ans: The poet’s claim is his expression of his thoughts in the future when while recalling this day he would like to think that he differed from the crowd and took the path that many did not choose, and that had made a difference in his life. That choice had determined the direction of his life.
