In the poem, The Road Not Taken, by Robert Frost the overall 'plot' is that a man is walking in the woods. He comes to a fork in the paths, and he chooses to take the one that was overgrown and mysterious rather than the clear, easy path. The narrator,unnamed, is the main character. In the end, the main idea here is that people have free choice in this world, but knowing what you've chosen is often unclear utnil you have committed to go down that 'path'. Life is determined by choice and chance.
