- 12364: Commentary On The Road Not Tak
- ... and it gives an impression that the decisions that we have to make are natural. The divergence of the two roads into the same place (a yellow wood) symbolises Frosts departure into the real world (because of the singularity in wood).

As Long states, "The voices of the two men calling to one another at the beginning introduces the idea of a world that has lost its coherence, is already reduced to disjunction and fragmentation. Natty and Hurry search for a point of contact yet move in different directions" (p. 122). Cooper's descriptions of Natty and Hurry ... quality which makes the teaching of a lesson by Cooper all that much more acceptable. "Cooper does not locate his narrative within the flux of history, but evokes a sense of timelessness consistent with the world of myth. For example, the setting is of "the earliest days of colonial history," a "remote and obscure" period, lost in the "mists of time." In setting the backdrop of the story in this way ...

- ... women very shallowly and their goals and aspirations rarely reachbeyond having a 'spic n span' clean house or having the hair of "their" dreams.

Formerly, TV directors (largely male, of course) had argued that ... 3. There are also more men than women in starring roles; the exceptions are notable only as exceptions. In contrast to this dominance of the screen by men, we all know that in the everyday world, women in fact slightly outnumber men.
