This is why the speaker takes his time thinking which path to choose because not only is he concerned about which road to take but also which path in life is the correct one. There could be more than one correct road but in reality you only choose one. When the speaker finally chooses a path automatically it can feel the mood changes because the speaker knows that it will not come back to be able to take the other path, left by in the past. The character then regrets its missed opportunity. In the beginning of the poem when the traveler is introduced for the first time he has to make a decision of what road to take.
He is unsure which way to go and wishes that he could travel both. He thinks the path he decides to take is not quite as worn as the other one, but really, the paths are about the same. He reflects on how he plans to take the road that he didn't take another day, but suspects that he probably won't ever come back. Instead, far off in the future, he'll be talking about how his decision was final and life changing. The ‘road’ in this poem has been used as a symbol for the journey of Life.
Before he was caught up in the moment, without much room for thinking he chose to follow his sense of justice. But his choice lead to an outcome he had not expected, and now that he has a chance to catch his breath Sarty is unaware of the great distance he has traveled, metaphorically rather than figuratively, this suggests that Sarty has not fully acknowledged the significance of his actions towards the building of his character. Faulkner uses Sarty’s home metaphorically as it symbolizes the familiarities and comforts he must leave behind in order to come to terms
Euripides Essay In his proverb, Euripides implies that whoever won’t want to learn at a young age, he or she won’t want to learn earlier on in life and won’t have a bright future.

If we get to this first stage we may well run up against love as an obstacle, particularly in believing that in order to have the love of some other we must give up our own Personal Legend and live in a way that the other needs for us. On the author’s view this is a mistaken notion of love. “You must understand that love never keeps a man from pursuing his Personal Legend. If he abandons that pursuit it’s because it wasn’t true love, the love that speaks the Language of the World.” Supposing one gets past that second stage and realizes love is not incompatible with one’s Personal Legend, then one is likely to run into grave difficulties in realizing this legend and be tempted to give up. It is just too hard.
No one wants to see their Ex with someone else. Even if, the parting was negligent; there was still a time when treasured memories were created.

This poem by Thomas Hardy gives of an air of pessimism and apparent helpless but not because of physical incapacity but instead of a personal conflict involving another. The speaker is almost haunted by the thought of his lover looking for him or her but no longer being the same person that she was before. The speaker is not completely confident of his or her own abilities because his or her own thoughts are too fixated on the effects of the person, classified as “you” in the poem, and how they continue to afflict or confuse the speaker. The repetition of the person calling to the speaker emphasizes significance of this action to the poem and also how incessant it is to the speaker. In the first stanza “you” is almost stressed every time that it appears yet “me” is not stressed, when reading this out loud it is evident that the speaker is more aware of the action of “you” than his or her own.
