QUESTION FIVE
Critically analyze the following poem by Robert Frost under the following headings:
The road not taken.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry l could not travel both
And be a traveller, long l stood
And looked down one as far as l could
To where it bent in the undergrowth

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay,

In leaves no step had trodden black,
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh,
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood and l
I took the one less travelled by
And that has made all the difference.
(Robert Frost)
