Solution
The choices made by one, shape one’s destiny. This is the theme of the poem ‘Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening’ by Robert Frost. The biggest choice that he wrestles with is whether to return to the warmth and safety of the village or to stay and watch the woods fill up with snow. The poet finds it hard to decide. He ultimately decides to return home, but it seems to take all of his will power.
