The road not taken
The road not taken – The complex idea of free will (2 identical forks in the road), being able to choose what we do or where we go but do not know beforehand what we are choosing between.
After apple picking – the idea that people know that they can go that one last mile to accomplish something but they are still lazy.
Nothing Gold can stay – everything that is being enjoyed today will inevitably be taken away.
The Drovers wife - Addresses the issue of the hardship of women whose bravery and perseverance is unfairly overlooked.
Feelings of isolation and monotony that the character experiences, focuses on the vivid imagery of what the bush is lacking. The bush has “no horizon”, “no ranges in the distance” and “no undergrowth”. Robert Frost, using his deep, complex and meaningful poems is able to communicate to the common man about complex issues and ideas. These issues include the idea of free will in his poem “the road not taken”, the laziness of humanity in “after apple picking” and the mortality of all things that make up the material world in “nothing gold can stay”. However, Frost is not the only writer that demonstrates the ability to address certain, convoluted ideas and issues. Henry Lawson in his short story “The Drovers Wife”, expresses his concern of the unfair look given to society of womens hardship, bravery and perseverance.
In the poem The Road Not Taken, Frost addresses the issue of humans having their free will to take any given route in life but not knowing where each route will take them. he uses himself as an example, where he comes across a diverged road that has two identical forks. Here he must make a decision as to which way he will proceed in. He says, “Two roads diverged in a wood and I took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference”. He is telling the readers that human beings do not really have free will because they can take any route but they are taking a chance as they do not know where they will
