Title: //Life Path...//

This poem includes an allegory that seems to have a symbol, and has a deeper meaning when you interpret the narrator's way of talking. In lines 15~16 is a repetition, and the narrator says, "And miles to go before I sleep,..". Lovely, dark, deep-this represents the wood that the narrator is going; a path that he has taken for his life. Even though a mile can be just represented as a distance, this poem uses it as a incidental symbol by representing the narrator's life. These lines represent that before his "sleep" or "death", he needs to accomplish a lot of promises (the promises can be taking care of himself and his family, other chores, etc.); and to reach the promises, he has a long way to go. Even though it can seem like the narrator is just taking a journey to the woods, it has a deeper meaning about discussing his life path and how he should choose to accomplish all of his "promises". :)

Addition* Also, this poem contains both flat and round characters. The round character is definitely the narrator since he is the main character that is talking but also going through the story. He is the most informed character in the poem (even though this context is very short). And the flat character is the horse since he is not a main character but supports the path of the narrator's trip to the woods.
