The inspiration for The Road Not Taken came from Frost’s amusements over a familiar mannerism of his closest friend in England, Edward Tomas while living in Gloucester Shire in 1914. He frequently took long walks with Tomas through country side. Tomas, he repeatedly chose a route might enable him to show his American friend a rare plant or a special vista, but it often happened that before the end of such a walk Tomas would regret the choice he had made and would sigh over what he might have shown to Frost, if they have taken a ‘better’ direction. More than once on such occasions, the New Englander, Frost had teased his Welsh-English friend for those wasted regrets. Frost finds mething quaintly romantic in sighing over what might have been. Such a course of action was a road never taken by Frost, a road he had been taught to avoid. The Road Not Taken, on this poem Frost pretended to ‘carry himself’ and his irony to stubbly, dramatically to assume a posture not his own, but simply for purposes of mockery. Illustration and interpretation of his poem assume that he decides to go off at that time to some places where he could not repeat his own way that complained to his friend - Tomas who never lets him try another road. Frost generally presents his poems based on the condition of the nature and its surroundings, including the environment and human that has interaction to each other. Major readers will agree to analyze its meaning by dividing into several groups of lines. 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 Lines 1 – 4, inspire two lonely crossed roads reveals a speaker or Frost as a walker encounters two nearly identical paths. Those lines express the consequences to the principles of selection in all aspects of life. He is the walker who looks down one, first, that he never takes the others. He encourages the readers to believe the walker who never takes the others is him. Those lines 1 – 2 expressed the consequences of the principle of selection in all aspects of life. The drama of the poem is of the person making a choice between two ways of life
