From the perspective of a woman, how do you interpret Robert Frost's: "The Road Not Taken"?

Asked by Harrow185 (298points) May 2nd, 2013

I understand that in this poem many people interpret the poem as standing out from the crowd, and not falling into labels. But analyzing this in the perspective of a youthful woman, makes me believe that the two roads are actually two similar decisions. Those decisions aren’t clear in the poem, but what is clear is that they are “worn about the same”. With no obvious choice, it makes her decision greater, and her fear stronger. My specific question is how you interpret the poem in the perspective of a woman. I may be missing vital information that you may pick up on. What else can be carried away from this poem?
