For example, Frost metaphorically uses the road to describe the long journey of life and the series of difficulties that people face in daily life. In ‘Road Not Taken,’ Frost uses ordinary metaphors to describe the extraordinary difficulties people go through in the journey of life as they seek to uncover the mysteries hidden in the future. Similarly, Frost uses metaphors in his literary works to explain various revelations that life presents and how individual decision making affects future outcomes. For example, metaphors are common figures of speech that many poets employ to express various life perspectives within poetry (Freeman 59). Literary work encompasses figures of speech in their creations to either clarify, emphasize or decorate ideologies.
