Without having read your essay, it is almost impossible to
know how this conclusion should be phrased since a conclusion is a rewording of the
thesis statement and a summation of the main points of an essay. The conclusion should,
above all, give a sense of finality to the essay.
However,
from having read what has been written above, it appears that your essay has been
written as one of comparison/contrast between the ways in which Macbeth and the speaker
of Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken" have dealt with choice. While Frost's speaker has
been plagued by ambivalence, Macbeth is driven by his "vaulting ambition." With this in
mind, then, you may want to begin with the last sentence that you have written and
modify it. For example, you could write,
Whereas Frost's
poem "The Road Not Taken" relates a man's sorrowful reflection on
his ambivalence regarding his choices in life, Shakespeare's Macbeth tells the tale of a
man driven by a commitment to his "vaulting ambition." Thus, the presentation of
choices in these two works has been distinctively varied as
Macbeth----------while "The Road Not Taken" [here summarize the main points
you have made.] Then write a "clincher" finishing sentence or two which leave not doubt
in the reader's mind that the essay has reached its end. Rather than using "in
conclusion" it is more effective to use words such as clearly or
certainly or indeed. e.g. Clearly, the manner
in which one makes choices is one that determines one's life.
