@seacrest73 Still not what the poem's about... it's about rationalising your own decisions and deceiving yourself in order to retain a positive self-image. It's not about either road, but how one views a decision after they've made it, both shortly after, and long after

Thanks for these great insights!

i never understood the poem as showing support for non-conformity. i understood it as a guy made a choice life thinking he would take the other later but knowing how one path leads to another knew he would never be able to go back. it's NOT about the path he did take. it is about the one he didn't. the title really says it all.

He just BLEW my mind.
and boom goes the dynamite

I think this is more of a poem ridiculing the notion of free will, and how we will retrospectively justify our decisions and use free will as a crutch. He doesn't say why he takes one path or another, but correctly asserts that in the future he will boast of how clever his 'decision' was.

Won the Pulitzer Prize four times, Wow! Dynamic. Lawrence Thompson maybe an individual to look into as well, given that Frost hand picked Thompson to pen his biography.

Brilliant analysis. I've been reading this poem in the last 20 years. Now I'm really LOST ! =)

@kondoak 'the american ideal of non-conformity'... well thats a lie
