Both Macbeth and
The Road Not Taken deal with the consequences of choices. Lady Macbeth walks around
talking in her sleep. She cannot be rid of the choice she has made. We see her monologue
of "out, out damned spot" as a prime example of her guilt. The Road Not Taken is far
more general than Macbeth, but it is also far shorter. Frost talks about the
consequences of choices in his final lines "I took the road less traveled by and that
has made all the difference." Macbeth seems to have a darker view of these consequences
than The Road Not Taken. However, in Macbeth, the characters are dealing with specific,
dark choices. Frost is dealing with a more general concept on how to make choices and
the choice of which path we will follow in life. Macbeth spells out the consequences and
the choices that lead to them. Frost hints at similar themes but does not give
specifics. I think the two key points on this topic are that both Macbeth and Frost
discuss the consequences of choices, but Macbeth leads the reader down a much darker
road while Frost is more optimistic and uplifting.
