Summary

Teaser

Act 1

Act 2

Act 3

Act 4

Notes

  • The title is derived from the poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

The common interpretation is that one may be rewarded greatly by choosing a more difficult path than the one used by the crowd. The phrase may also have had a religious meaning for Frost, alluding to Matthew 7,12-14, which mentions a broad gate leading to destruction and a narrow gate leading to salvation. [1]
