Read Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken." What are two key themes of this poem?
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I 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 I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

We are faced with choices between good and bad.
It is necessary to make choices in life.
Choices are not mandatory.
Choices shape a person’s life.

Respuesta :

The poem isn't talking about one path being good versus the other path being bad. This can be seen when he says: "And both that morning equally lay." This means that the paths are equal and one isn't "higher" then the other. therefore the answer isn't A.

Choices ARE mandatory. Nothing in life would happen if we never had to decide anything. There fore the answer isn't C.

This leaves the answers B. and D. as the two key themes. As I said before choices are necessary  (B.). D. can be seen when he says "I took the one less traveled by,  And that has made all the difference." This means that he made a choice and making it has changed his life. Had he made another choice then his life would have been different.

Hope this helped!
