On the poem of "the road not taken" what do you think would have happened had the traveler made a different choice?

I think the purpose of the poem is to make the reader
consider the impact of decisions made during life. My interpretation of what will happen
as a result of the poet's decision to take the road less traveled isn't as important as
that every reader finds his/her own meaning.


In answer to
your question, however, I think the traveler would have been disappointed if the choice
had been to take the more traveled path. In reading the poem, I think the traveler
enjoys time to discover and experience on his/her own, without lots of company along the
way. Therefore, I don't think the traveler would have enjoyed the trip as much if it had
not been taken on "the road less traveled."
