speaker finally chooses the second path He thinks this road is less traveled and grassy So he thinks this road will bring a better outcome But soon he realizes that both roads are about the same Both roads have equally untrodden leaves This shows confusion In real life we also become confused about our decisions Life s Uncertainty The speaker knows he can never return to the first road He imagines himself telling someone about his choice in the future He will say with a sigh that his choice changed his life completely He says I took the one less traveled by And that has made all the difference It shows that our decisions shape our lives significantly But it is uncertain what we will get with every decision To sum up the theme of the poem is the difficulty of making choices and life s uncertainty Once we choose we cannot go back Our decisions shape our lives significantly
