Answer:

The theme of this poem is decision making and courage but the poet used symbolic language in this poem. The diverging road indicates confusion in making a choice.

Sometimes a small decision can change our life. The speaker of the poem decided to go on the path on which a few people have travelled.

This decision could be unsafe but to do something new, someone once makes a unique and courageous decision.
