TEXTUAL QUESTIONS
(Page 16)

Thinking About the Poem
I. 1. Where does the traveller find himself ? What problem does he face ?
2. Discuss what these phrases mean to you.

  1. a yellow wood
  2. it was grassy and wanted wear
  3. the passing there
  4. leaves no step had trodden black
  5. how way leads on to way

3. Is there any difference between the two roads as the poet describes them

  1. in stanzas two and three ?
  2. in the last two lines of the poem ?

4. What do you think the last two lines of the poem mean ? (Looking back, does the poet regret his choice of accept it ?)

Answers
1. The traveller finds himself at an intersection of two roads in a forest. His problem is that it is not easy to decide which ‘road’ he should take.
2.

  1. A forest at the time of autumn.
  2. It had grass grown on it and wanted the people to walk on it.
  3. It means walking on the road.
  4. The leaves which had not been walked over.
  5. How one road leads to another

3.

  1. In stanzas two and three there is no difference between the two roads.
  2. In the last two lines there is the difference. It is seen in ‘I took the one less travelled by’.

4. The last two lines contain the theme of the poem. These mean that the poet chose one kind of career, though he wanted to choose the other. And this had made all the difference in his life. He now thinks that if he had taken the other one, life would, perhaps, have been different.

II. 1. Have you ever had to make a difficult choice (or do you think you will have difficult choices to make) ? How will you make the choice (for what reasons) ?
2. After you have made a choice do you always think about what might have been, or do you accept the reality ?

Answers
1. Yes, I had to make a difficult choice once. It was very difficult to make it. But I had to do it. I had to go out to Chandigarh for an urgent piece of work on one weekend. But I had to postpone it. I thought that if the clerk would not be there what would happen. The next day was a holiday.

I would make the choice for various reasons. These would be like, peace of mind, contentment, livelihood, absence of risk or danger, etc.

2. I accept the reality after making a choice. Sometimes, I face odds or big difficulties. I think of what might have been if this thing had not come on the way. A person really tends to think of the choice made. It happens when one faces problems in the present. It is universal. Problems do keep coming. They make men think of their choices. These may be right or wrong. But choices can’t be redone.
