Is the Robert Frost poem "The Road Not Taken" about the road not taken or about the road less traveled?

I believe his poem alludes to the choices we make in our lives that are sometimes unpopular but provide us with the benefit we are seeking.  The "road not taken" implies he is speaking of the choices he did not make; the roads or paths he chose not to travel.  He "took the one less traveled by" suggesting that the path he chose for himself was not the one his peers may have taken or one his family wanted for him; a path society approved of.  The final line of "that has made all the difference" suggests that he has considered what would have happened had he taken the more popular or well traveled path, but the reader is left to consider how that choice impacted his life.  It also leaves us with one of the most burning questions we all face: what if?  What if he had taken to road that was more traveled, then the other road would be the one less traveled, and there still would be a difference in his life.  We cannot see the out comes of choices we do not take, nor can we see where paths we do not take will lead.  However, when we look back on the roads we took to arrive at our current destination, we can reflect on whether or not it was a popular or positive choice.  


The poem appears to be about the road not taken.
In actuality, there is no "road less traveled by". In the second stanza the speaker describes this road:
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 last two lines of this stanza seem to be overlooked by most. The speaker sees that one road "was grassy and wanted wear". Then, looking at the other road realizes "Though as for that the passing there/Had worn them really about the same". Both roads are essentially the same.
 
The only time the speaker mentions that it was "the road less traveled by" is in the final stanza, which begins, "I shall be telling this with a sigh/Somewhere ages and ages hence:" He is only going to say how less traveled the road is when he is later retelling the story. The speaker seems to want people (and arguably himself as well) to believe that when he was faced with this decision, he chose the one that "made all the difference." We know this to be false, however, based on his earlier account of the two roads.
 
There was no benefit for taking the road less traveled by, because the roads were essentially the same. The speaker has no way of knowing if the road he chose actually made more of a difference in his life or not. Which is why it is about the road not taken. When we travel down the road we choose we will validate our decision by convincing the world and ourselves that it was the road less taken, that it was somehow different, that we were even adventurous for choosing this road and not the other. When in reality, we will always be left wondering what was down that other road.


I believe the poem is about both the road not taken and the road less traveled.  
That sounds like a cop out, but I believe the answer is up to individual readers. Your question is reminiscent of the age-old question of whether the glass is half empty or half full. The poem's narrator says he took the road less traveled and that doing so "made all the difference."
The narrator doesn't say whether that was a good difference, though. He doesn't say if his choice was good and beneficial to him. He simply tells his reader his choice made a difference. It's possible the poem is about the advantages of taking the road less traveled; however, it is equally possible the poem is about the disadvantage caused by missing the road not taken. By taking the road less traveled, the narrator misses the road that is more traveled. There might be better life rewards by taking the more well-traveled road, which could explain why it is more well traveled.
 
A positive and uplifting interpretation of the poem would say the poem is about the benefits of taking the less-traveled road. A negative interpretation might say it is about missing the road not taken.

How does Bilbo show leadership and courage in The Hobbit?

Bilbo’s increase in confidence and courage is the defining aspect of his character arc. At the beginning of the novel, he is shut away content in his Hobbit hole, happy to remain separate and coddled from the rest of the world. In the movie, Bilbo chooses to join the dwarves on their quest out of a sense for adventure. In the book, however, Bilbo wants nothing to do with them and only joins because he had been duped into signing a contract. Despite being on the adventure somewhat against his will, Bilbo still proves himself time and again, saving the dwarves from the spiders, the trolls, and a number of other dangers they encounter along the way. Bilbo’s character arc has even been cited as a sort of Christian metaphor for the growth of the soul, though how much Tolkien intended on this front is up for debate. From a thematic standpoint, the ring of invisibility also plays into Bilbo’s brand of bravery. If Hobbits are the overlooked creatures of Middle Earth, then it is noteworthy that...

In “Goodbye to All That,” Joan Didion writes that the “lesson” of her story is that “it is distinctly possible to remain too long at the fair.” What does she mean? How does the final section of the essay portray how she came to this understanding, her feelings about it, and the consequences of it?

In this classic essay, Didion describes moving to New York City from her native Sacramento at the age of twenty-one, and, as she freely admits, a somewhat naive twenty-one, her mind, "programmed by all the movies I had ever seen and all the songs I had ever heard about New York," with the typical feeling, at that age, that, "nothing like this...has ever happened to anyone before." Intending to stay for only six months, she falls in love with the city. As she says, "I do not mean 'love' in any colloquial way, I mean that I was in love with the city the way you love the first person who ever touches you and never love anyone quite that way again." This initial love led her to prolong her residency, since, "I still believed in possibilities then, still had the sense, so peculiar to New York, that something extraordinary would happen any minute, any day, any month." But as the next years roll past, and the "new faces" she encounters...

Why does the poet say "all the men and women merely players"?

It's one of the most famous lines in literature: All the world's a stage,And all the men and women merely players . . . This famous saying comes from Shakespeare's play As You Like It, and it's spoken by Jacques. What he's saying here is that simply going about our daily lives is a type of performance. Just like actors on a stage, we all have roles to perform: Daughter. Student. Sister. Captain of the soccer team. The fact that Shakespeare writes that men and women are merely players suggests that the roles are preordained and that a person's choice in being a mother, for example, or a doctor or starting point guard for the Brooklyn Nets is out of their hands. What roles a person performs over the course of their lifetime is up to fate. The notion that "all the world's a stage" has entered pop culture, but within the context of the play, this idea does not sit well with Jacques. He's a pessimist, and the idea that everything is up to fate makes...
