उत्तर
The Road Not Taken: It describes the situation of someone who is standing at a road with a diversion. This diversion is an example for real-life situations. We occasionally encounter situations in life where we must make difficult choices. We were unable to determine what is good or bad for us. We make a decision based on our hopes and ambitions. We believe that if we do not pursue accomplishments, we will have the opportunity to change and begin again. However, we travel too far and end up regretting it. Also, because of that one decision, we may become extraordinary individuals. Thus, the summary of the road not taken focuses on making wise decisions in life.
O Captain My Captain: The theme of the poem is the captain's death and the poetic speaker's reactions to it. It describes how a ship returned from a ''fearful'' voyage. The voyage was successful, and the speaker mentioned that a ''prize'' was won. However, the poet admits that a tragedy has occurred. The Captain of the ship has died, and his bleeding body is on the ship's deck. The poem then shifts to people's reactions to the captain's death. A ''swaying mass'' of people mourning his death is mentioned in the stanza. The speaker describes the sights and sounds of mourning, such as flower bouquets, pealing bells, waving flags, and bugle calls. The poem then returns to the Captain's description. The Captain's body, in contrast to the noisy reactions of the crowd, is lifeless, ''pale and still,'' with ''no pulse nor will.'' Despite the fact that the voyage was successful, the poet continues to mourn the Captain's death.
