Frost created a scenery where the speaker is looking at a long fork in the woods. Either the speaker can go down one road or go down the other‚ but the speaker does not know which one is the best route. He describes one side of the road to be “grassy and wanted wear; though as for that‚ the passing there‚ had worn them really about the same time” (line 8). In other words‚ the road was well used and known to the community. Then he describes the other side of the fork “in leaves no steps had trodden
