“The Road Not Taken” clearly describes a situation in which a person had to decide on a choice between two paths. Initially both paths were considered equal by the narrator, but the author develops a way of thinking that the narrator delved into until making the final decision. Using images; symbolism; point of view; structure; rhythm and meter; and diction and tone the author constructs the sense of a journey through the person's mind and how the perplexity in making a decision can influence the outcome. All in all, despite all the twists and turns of the poem, an important lesson can be learned; and that is to always make the right decision and you are the final decision maker
