Struggle Between Heart and Conscience When Robert
Frost writes of "two roads diverged in a wood, and
I-/ I took the one less traveled by/And that has
made all the difference" ("The Road Not Taken"),
he demonstrates the realization of both writers
and the hoi-polloi that following the accepted
path of society not always directs an individual
