He realized that both of the paths were the same when it said “Had worn them really about the same”. He decided to take the other one, “the one less travelled by”. He tried to look down one as far as he could but it bent in the undergrowth. The poem starts with a traveller walking on a path in the forest during autumn, although the path diverges and the traveller is faced with a choice. The poem literally is about a traveller that is faced with a choice of which path to go down. Although there is a deeper meaning then inferred. In The Road Not Taken Frost follows the rhyme scheme A,B,A,A,B and it consists of four stanzas of 5 lines each. Also usually modernists do not write about nature although Frost made nature and the setting have a big part in the surface meaning/inferential meaning. Modernist poets like Frost like writing their own new and different type of poem. Modernist writing is a tradition and sort of old style of writing it became popular in the late 19th and early 20th century. An example of a book written with the romanticism in Frankenstein by Mary Shelly. Many romanticism writers cover a range of literature, music, art and philosophy. Currently the word romanticism means romance and love but back in the late 18th and early 19th centuries it was a popular style of writing. The Road Not Taken is written with a modernist writing style although there are small signs of romanticism in it. As Robert Frost once said “In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.” This poem is about a traveller who goes for a walk in a forest but is faced with a choice of which path to go down we soon realize that there is a deeper meaning behind the literal meaning. Although there are elements of romanticism, it is still a modernist poem. In 1916, Robert Frost published a poem called The Road Not Taken.
