The poet faces a dilemma that every man faces in his life, i.e., making a right decision. One day during the walk the poet reached bifurcation in the road. Out of the two roads, he had to take only one. He decides to take the second road which was less frequented. Hence, the road is a symbolic of the choice. It is just not possible to make more than one choice and to take both the roads. So the poet decides to take the road less travelled.
