(8)Metaphor : Metaphorical meaning
The roads serve as a metaphor for the choices we make in our life. Life presents many alternatived. A man cannot take up all the choices. The choices we make has a far reaching consequence as the steps once taken cannot be retraced.

The beaten track symbolises the easier path and less travelled road. The less travelled road is a more challenging path. The selection of difficult road by the poet symbolises man's urge to live life boldly.
