The Road Not Taken : Short Questions and Answersġ.Describe the two roads that the author comes across.Īns. Whether right or wrong, the choice will have had a significant impact on his life. While doing so, he will sigh either with relief that he made the right choice or with regret that he made the wrong choice.
Stanza 4: In years to come, the speaker says, he will be telling others about the choice he made. He observes, however, that he probably will never pass this way again and thus will never have an opportunity to take the other road. The speaker remains committed to his decision to take the road he had previously selected, saying that he will save the other road for another day. No one on this morning has yet taken either road, for the leaves lie undisturbed. Stanza 3: Leaves cover both roads equally. After a moment, he concludes that both roads are about equally worn. This selection suggests that he has an independent spirit and does not wish to follow the crowd. Stanza 2: The speaker selects the road that appears at first glance to be less worn and therefore less traveled. He examines one choice as best he can, but the future prevents him from seeing where it leads. Stanza 1: On the road of life, the speaker arrives at a point where he must decide which of two equally appealing choices is the better one. Even if we wish, we cannot start all over again. After taking decisions we cannot undo them, we can only regret them. It is only the future that will reveal, whether the decision is wrong or not. Many alternatives are available at the time of choice but man has to select one. Thus the poet speaks of the basic problems of making the right choice. He would tell that since he had taken the road less travelled, it made all the difference. The poet feels that after ages from now he would be looking at this decision with a ‘sigh’. This is the irony of life, we cannot travel on all the available roads, no matter howsoever we may wish to. Later he wishes that he had taken the other road. He decides to try the other road, some other time, knowing fully well that he will not get a chance to go back to it. He feels this choice will make all the difference to his future life. Then he decides to choose the road, which was grassy and needed ‘to wear’. For em there were jarring, unrealistic moments in the film which accordingly undermined its plausibility.The poet while travelling on foot in the woods reaches a junction where two roads diverge and he has to choose one among them He stands there for long. These are clearly errors in the script, odd that neither the director nor anyone else picked up on them. Why the hell wouldn't she convey the gravity of her situation when she might then get some understanding and sympathy from her workplace? 
At no point does she explain the truth about why she couldn't get into work ie that she was having to deal with her very ill father instead she gave mumbled, ineffectual excuses which most likely sounded very lame to her boss or whoever was calling her from her work. It seems that because she didn't make it into work that day, someone else or their work was chosen above her(s).
The third error concerns the daughter repeatedly excusing herself from an important meeting at her work which involved an important project she had undertaken. That doesn't help her father or those dealing with his unusual behaviour-anyone with a bit of sense would make it abundantly clear that Bardem was suffering from dementia, so that others would then treat him more sensitively. The second error is a repeat of this, when in the clothes warehouse the security guard tackles Bardem to the floor and all the daughter can say is 'my father is confused'. How could a caring person (the daughter) not warn anyone dealing with a parent with dementia be so unthinking as to not do this? Sadly, three errors undermine the reality of this film which otherwise had great pathos.The first glaring error was when the opthalmologist became frustrated with Bardem who understandably because of his condition/illness could not understand or take instruction as a normal person, the error being that his daughter clearly did not explain before the exam that her father had dementia as shown by the opthalmologist asking her if her father was 'all there'.
