(The word “day” also suggests light and brightness or clarity).

For example: Stanza 3 : lay, day & way These words are connected because, on that particular day, the speaker found himself in a place where two ways (paths) lay before him. Frost has placed certain rhyming words in relationships with each other, so each of the rhyming groups is somehow connected.

Characteristics of Robert Frost's poetry: The rhyming words are simple and short (most of them are only one syllable long).

Rhymes in stanza 1: All these rhyming words contain long vowel sounds, which are drawn out and have the effect of drawing out the reader's attention, making the action of the poem appear longer. Rhyming scheme: Stanza 1 : Lines 1, 3 & 4: wood, stood, could Lines 2 & 5: both, undergrowth Stanza 2 : Lines 1, 3 & 4: fair, wear, there Lines 2 & 5: claim, same Stanza 3 : Lines 1, 3 & 4: lay, day, way Lines 2 & 5: black, back Stanza 4 : Lines 1, 3 & 4: sigh, I, by Lines 2 & 5: hence, difference abaab cdccd efeef ghggh. Form and structure of the poem (rhyme, rhythm, line length, stanza length, etc.): The poem is devidid into 4 stanzas of 5 lines each. Enjambment: The running on of the thought from one line, couplet, or stanza to the next without a syntactical break/punctuated pause. Anaphora: The deliberate repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of several successive verses, clauses, or paragraphs Antithesis: A contrast or opposition between two things. Occupies the speaker's thoughts much more than the path that he did choose. The path that was not chosen, ironically, becomes the more attractive one, and 20īy using this title the poet draws the reader's attention to the poem's focus on theĬhoice that was not made, rather than the choice that was made. 15 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 travelled by, And that has made all the difference. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. The rest of the elements stand in the same level.The Road Not Taken Robert Frost (1874–1963) Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, A nd sorry I could not travel both A nd be one traveller, long I stood A nd looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth 5 Then took the other, as just as fair, A nd having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and w a nted wear Though as for that, the p a ssing there H a d worn them really just about the same, 10 And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. The two elements would not exist if there were no God as the controller. God takes control of the two other elements. God as the Highest element is the Most Powerful One. Among those elements, there is a close relation each other. The elements are: God, Nature, and Human. The result of this study deals with the poet�s worldview, in this study, Robert Frost, produces three basic elements as the basis of the construction of �The Road Not Taken� and �Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening�. When there is a synchronic relation between the worldview and the structure of the poems, then it means that the sociological aesthetic is achieved well. The poet�s worldview is compared to the structure of the poem. This conclusion will be used as the main idea to investigate the poet�s worldview. The comparison process will produce a new conclusion. Then, I turn the meaning of each word in the poem into interpretations that, later, will be used to compare it which the biography of the poet. Every word and phrase in the lines is investigated, including the meanings, the forms, the synonyms and the basic reason, which deals with the usage of the words, criticized.
