Complex Attitudes towards Life Choice－Appreciation of Robert Frost’s “ The Road Not Taken”
Introduction
Robert Frost was one of the most popular and important poets in America during the 20th century. Back to that time, he made a living as a cobbler, a teacher and then a farmer. He hadn’t been famous and well-known until 1914, when he was almost forty years old. Even though he lived a bitter life before, he never gave up creating poems which exactly was his dream. Without doubt, facing so many choices in the lifetime, just like normal people, Frost had his own hesitation and struggle -- without knowing which one is right or which one is better.
However, eventually, he succeeded in those choices one by one because he, following his heart, was willing to insist, just like his choosing the road in a yellow wood after a lot of hesitation and consideration in his great poem “The Road Not Taken”. The images of wood and roads represent life and the choices in the real world. During this long time, the arguments and analysis of this poem never stop. Most people think that the focus of this poem is to choose the road less traveled by, even though it is difficult and hard. I approve of this kind of opinion and apart from that, the action after making choice mattered most to the writer and the rest of us.
As far as I am concerned, with all the complex struggle, Robert Frost paid much attention to the attitude towards our own choices, especially after we had chosen them. Perseverance, rather than re-thinking or re-consideration again and again really plays a key role in our daily life. From his life experience, it is not hard to infer it.
