The road not taken this poem is a metaphor for choice making. In what ways is the metaphor effective or ineffective

This poem is about life from the perspective of a young narrator who decides to seize the day, and, as an individual, chooses the road “less traveled by.” The expression of doubt runs in the poem from the first line until the last. The expression of uncertainty about choices and our natural tendency to surmise about consequences we may have to face marks the central point of the poem. However, what stays in the mind of the people is the philosophy of life and the dilemma of making choices.

Hope it helps
