The symbolism in Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken" is very obvious from the title. A fork in the road representing a moral dilemma is not uncommon but I really liked the poem.
"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both"(line 1&2)
I thought this quote not only explained what was to come but it also summed up the poem, like a thesis. The word yellow as a description really stood out to me because to me the color yellow is mellow which is not how you feel when having to pick between to equally as appealing decisions. The 2nd line kind of made me laugh, who doesn't wish they could travel both, to bad that's usually not an option. However, like the poem stated, it is usually better to take the road less traveled even though it is normally harder it makes "all the difference"(line 20).
