This stanza contributes to the overall idea of the poem as how a choice made in life makes a difference. He would state that he chose one of them, which was not traveled much, and this non-worn-out state of the road has made a difference for him. He thinks that when in the future somebody would inquire about this choice, he would heave a sigh and state that sometime in the distant past, he made a choice of one road out of the two diverging in the yellow wood. The stanza contributes to the procedure of making a choice by presenting that this one step is significant in that it does not make a person able to return and make another choice in life. The poet feels doubts that he would ever be able to come back if he chooses one. The poet states that he thought to keep one road for some other day to travel, but he knows at heart that one way leads to another and then to another, and this circular style continues. He sees that nobody has stepped upon the leaves on that day on those two roads. He states that both are equally worn out on that morning when he chose one. The poet presented the situation when he chose one of the roads.


The stanza contributes to the main idea of the choice by showing that both choices seem to have equal value. Therefore, the poet has made a good choice by choosing one of them after assessing their value. However, then he would look back in retrospect and see that both have the same prospects as both were equally worn. He would support his claim that it was grassy and that it wanted to wear, the reason that he chose that road. Frost states that he took one of them and thought that in the future, he would claim that it was a fair choice. This stanza presents the situation of the poem. The stanza contributes to the main idea of choice in one’s life by presenting two roads, their contexts, and situations. Therefore, he needs to travel only once after looking at one of them that it is less traveled and that it shows undergrowth which means very few people have traveled through it. The reason is he is a single person and not a double. The context is of “a yellow wood” where the poet feels sorry that there are two roads and he has a choice to travel on one of them. This stanza presents the main situation the poet’s faces.
