The speaker in this poem starts standing in the woods, considering which fork to take in the road. Both ways seem to be the same to the reader, equally worn out and overtaken with leaves. The speaker chooses a path, and tells himself that one-day he will go back and take the other. Deep down he knows there isn’t a big chance that he will have the opportunity to do so. He discusses in the poem that someday in the future he will do the same scenario as the last except he claims he will take the road less traveled.

Somewhere in the back of his mind he will think back on the image of
