Robert Frost: Poems

The Road not taken

from this text what is the main idea and the figurative language used

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

The speaker takes a road that has not been travelled as much, Because it was grassy and wanted wear. The metaphor of course is choosing a life path that is new and untested.
