Είναι πράγματι ένα ποίημα γεμάτο αντιφάσεις. Ελπίζω να σε βοηθάει αυτό (από Wikipedia):
A popular explanation of this poem is that it is a call for the reader to forge his or her own way in life and not follow the path that others have already taken.
However, it contains key contradictions and ambiguities. Even though the speaker chooses "the one less traveled by," the speaker of the poem contradicts himself by saying the roads were ultimately the same. For example, lines 9-10 state "[t]hough as for that the passing there/Had worn them really about the same", and illuminated in line 11's declaration that, "And both that morning equally lay". Also, the closing lines, "I took the one less traveled by, /And that has made all the difference" adds the ambiguity. A close reading of this highly anthologized poem must admit that the speaker leaves the reader wondering whether the speaker means his choice has made a good or bad difference in the speaker's life. Also, why is the speaker telling it with a sigh? One might, looking at the title ("The Road Not Taken"), come to the conclusion that he sighs because in retrospect, he wishes he had taken the other road, thinking his life may have been better somehow. Still, others interpret the title as an emphasis that he is taking the less traveled path. It is the "Road Not Taken" by most other people, and he is the exception.
Some believe readers must acknowledge that though the poem closes in ambiguity, it is clear the initial choice of the road taken has made all the difference, for because of that choice, "way leads on to way". Still,others suggest that the line "And that has made all the difference" is meant to be one of sarcasm. Thus the traveler (i.e., Frost) is trying to tell the reader that the most important issue is simply to choose and therefore not become lost trying to decide whether to take this or that road. The important issue, then, is to make the decision and then follow through, even if they are on impulse as some interpret the "equality" of the two paths.
There are some who suggest that the poem is, in fact, about how we recount our lives especially those events that we believe either reflect or shape our identities we confabulate, adding meaning to them. This means that we ourselves are the ones leading our lives to sorrow and regret, hindsight and grief.
Όσο για το 'better claim' - ήταν ίσως η 'καλύτερη επιλογή';
